What is Lego WeDo Robotics Package

Chapter 594
Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth Edition
An educational robotics package appropriate for elementary school students (7+ years old). There are two package available: the construction and the resource set. A visual programming software is also part of the package. The construction set includes a hub (to be connected to the PC), 3 different kinds of sensors (tilt, motor and distance sensors), 3 different sizes of axles, gears, cams,158 colorful building blocks and other essential pieces to build the mini figure: the feet, hair and hut.

Abstract
Robotics and programming integration as cognitive-learning tools, in selected teaching cases exploits its full potential; therefore, it upgrades and enhances the teaching and learning process and promotes school transformation. Employing a case study approach, the current study examines how robotics and computer programming can be integrated within the elementary teaching practice (2nd to 6th grade) in order to achieve learning objectives across disciplines beyond STEM (8 teachers and 169 students participated at the study). Results are discussed taking into account class size, robotics package used, teacher age, gender, experience and teacher digital literacy/ comfort level with technology. The innovative educational robotics curriculum developed by the Robotics Academy provides the theoretical and educational framework to achieve the above.
