2D Modelling and Laser Cutting for LEGO SPIKE Prime Course

This course takes LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime beyond the standard kit by introducing students to digital modeling and laser cutting. Each lesson guides students through designing 2D parts, producing them with precision, and adding them to robotic models. The result is a new class of hybrid robots that merge LEGO mechanisms with custom-designed structures.
While students bring their ideas to life, they strengthen programming skills with Word Blocks. Teachers gain a powerful toolset for engaging students in STEAM, showing them how robotics, design, and modern manufacturing intersect in exciting and meaningful ways.
Lessons available in the Teacher and School plans.
