Programming SPIKE Prime in Word blocks: Expert

SPIKE Prime Python
Lessons created for advanced and ambitious students. Among these lesson plans, you will find more challenging models with complex mechanisms that require precision from sensors and from students. You will write multi-threaded programs, which could overwhelm quite a few beginners!
Advanced robots require experience with simpler models. These lessons encourage you to rely on the programming knowledge you already have and bring great satisfaction after completion.

Lesson plans for programming advanced robots built from SPIKE Prime bricks. Best for those, who already have some experience with robotics. Materials for each exercise include:

  • extensive introduction illustrated with graphics and animations,
  • detailed instructions for building LEGO® SPIKE Prime robot,
  • step-by-step programming guide for SPIKE Prime programming app: Word Blocks, Python,
  • useful cross-sections of the construction,
  • access to additional teaching resources.

Lesson plans

CRANE
Create a functional crane robot that transfers objects vertically and horizontally. Control it easily with a joystick!

Robot designed for: LEGO® Education SPIKE Prime (#45678) and SPIKE programming app.
BRIGE LAYER
Mind the gap! Or better yet, use SPIKE Prime bricks and code to assemble a robot capable of crossing (almost) any crevice laying in its path. Build and program it according to step-by-step instructions and head for the divide.

TELEGRAPH
At one time, there were no smartphones STOP People used telegraph messages to make the world go round STOP Find out how the telegraph works and why everyone preferred to use Morse code instead of the everyday alphabet

Robot designed for: LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime (#45678) and SPIKE programming app.
FLIGHT SIMULATOR
Create a super safe device for learning how to fly a helicopter. As the pilot in training, you will operate this aircraft by means of a control stick connected to the rotation sensor. Your first flying lesson starts as soon as you assemble the program.

MANIPULATOR PYTHON
Build a robotic manipulator to lift and carry objects. Test your programming and problem-solving skills.

Robot designed for: LEGO® Education SPIKE Prime (#45678) and SPIKE programming app: Python.
MUSIC BOX PYTHON
Create a music box robot! Program it to play tunes and explore the connection between sound and code.

Robot designed for: LEGO® Education SPIKE Prime (#45678) and SPIKE programming app: Python.
SORTER PYTHON
Build a robot that sorts objects by color using a sensor. See how automation makes sorting easy.

Robot designed for: LEGO® Education SPIKE Prime (#45678) and SPIKE programming app: Python.
GOLDEN RATIO 3D BLENDER
Art, architecture, even nature make use of the mysterious "golden ratio". Find out what this mathematical enigma means and use its principles to design a three-dimensional object in Python. Yes, you can to create 3D objects by writing code!

Robot designed for: LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime (#45678), Blender 3.0, and a 3D printer.
BETA VERSION
ARCADE GAME SPACE EXPLORER
Travel back to the 80s and build your own arcade machine using bricks, code, and creativity—no DeLorean needed! Fly in space, shoot asteroids, and learn basic game design concepts.

Robot designed for: LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime (#45678) and SPIKE programming app.
SNAKE GAME
Recreate the classic Snake game! Use the tilt sensor to control movement and aim for the high score.
