SPIKETM Prime
SPIKE Prime is the first LEGO
® Education product to include a Competitions Unit featuring
FIRST LEGO League as part of the lesson plans. It also boasts Scratch-based block-coding, a classroom-friendly app, innovative new pieces which bridge both the Technic and LEGO brick system building platforms, and detailed support materials. With this quick-start solution, whole classes of students can create SMART inventions and program them to move within 15 – 20 minutes, keeping young people engaged and developing their skills rapidly.
MINDSTORMS EV3, NXT, and RCX will continue to be allowed in FIRST LEGO League with SPIKE Prime sitting alongside these products – not replacing them. Teams may use any of these products to participate in the program.
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST®
