USING THE TECH MIX
For all ages coding, try the Kids Coding Mix. Bee-Bots are small robots designed specifically for use by young children. These colorful, bee-shaped robots are instinctive and easy to use. They are a great introduction to coding concepts like sequential thinking, estimation, and problem-solving. Plus, they're FUN!
For more advanced or adventurous users, try the Robot Mix. Host Sphero chariot races, teach Dash & Dot to solve mazes, solve puzzles and draw with Osmo, and make customized game controllers with Makey Makeys. The elements in this Mix will make coding, engineering, game design, learning numbers and letters, and creating music and art accessible and entertaining. Everything comes in one box.
Request Box 4: LEGO Robotics Mix 1 - Beginner for hands-on software-based STEM programs, Box 4: LEGO Robotics Mix 2 - Advanced for designing and building STEM projects

USING THE LEGO MIXES
Lego suggests 2 children at each Lego WeDo set; all 12 sets should accommodate 24 children. Each Lego WeDo Set requires 2 AA batteries (so you would need 24 AA batteries to use all 12 sets). Each Lego Mindstorms EV3 set requires 6 AA batteries.
Both Lego WeDo 2.0 and Lego Mindstorms EV3 require a computer or tablet with the needed software downloaded prior to your program. Please be sure to allow yourself ample time to prep your devices. Software Requirements: Lego WeDo 2.0 and Lego Mindstorms EV3
