The software includes teaching guides and curriculum packs for teachers, as well as building guides, assistance with programming, and engaging videos for students. One device per group would be ideal. The WeDo 2.0 Software is free to download and supports most operating systems and devices, including Mac and Windows computers, Chromebooks, Android tablets, and iPads. In this case, several chargers will be necessary as well.

You might want to consider purchasing a rechargeable battery pack ( product number 45302) for each set so that you can reduce reliance on throwaway batteries. For a class of 30 students, plan on 16 kits, including one kit for the teacher. Smaller groups give students the chance to actively participate in building and programming and promote collaboration, while limiting idle time. Generally, it is best to have one kit for every two students (although groups with up to four students per kit have been known to work). The 280 pieces in the kit include two sensors (tilt and motion), a motor, and a USB hub. The LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 Core Set ( product number 45300) comes in a stackable, blue plastic container with sorting trays and labels that help students keep the pieces organised. For a guide to that set, see What to buy (WeDo 1.0). The classic version of WeDo (white container) is no longer sold by LEGO Education but might be available from third parties. Note: This guide is for LEGO Education WeDo 2.0, which comes in a blue container. Planning on introducing the LEGO WeDo into your class? Here are some ideas on what you need to get started.
