WHAT EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT 
 
Countdown to CITY SHAPERSM
 Logo
We’re counting down the days until the global Challenge Release on August 1 at 12 noon ET! Challenge materials will be posted here – bookmark this page to have quick access to online resources all season. Teams will also be receiving hard copies of the Team Meeting Guide for coaches and Engineering Notebooks for students.
 
SPIKE™ PRIME Update
LEGO Education has a deep commitment to creating products and experiences that are of the highest quality. They will release SPIKE Prime in early 2020 when they’re certain it meets that high-quality bar. Given this change, LEGO® Education SPIKE Prime will not be available as an option for the 2020 competition season.
