Early Engineering with Lego SPIKE Prime
Lego SPIKE Prime enables children to understand the concepts of engineering and help them to grow into confident individuals. SPIKE Prime has already become a STEAM education essential.
STEAM learning instils confidence in students by conducting a hands-on project with others. Many statistics on education system has shown that students who pursue STEAM education are more likely to be bright, logical and confident in learning new things. The LEGO educational product now includes SPIKE PRIME which is designed for students to have hands-on experience to think critically and creatively to solve problems. They are found to be good listeners and communicate effectively with others.
Lego Education has unveiled the newest product that comprehends to the STEAM learning process. The product is named as Lego Education SPIKE PRIME. SPIKE PRIME is aimed at students who are studying between 6th to 8th grade. The product brings together LEGO bricks, a programmable, multi-port hub, sensors and motors all connected through SPIKE app-based on Scratch coding language. It looks more like a retro computer design inspired by the early Lego robotic kit. Basically a toolbox with LEGO elements and bricks to build with hardware parts. The SPIKE app consists of lessons aligned to specific standards which can be completed within an hour making educator’s task easy. SPIKE Prime enables educators to teach engineering to kids during their early grades. Sadly, you won’t be able to buy it in stores. These are directly distributed to educational institutions which follow STEAM Education Dubai.
Two or three kids can play around SPIKE Prime to solve engineering and programming. There are 32 different lesson plans for kids. The lesson plans are organized in four teaching units with names like Kickstarter Business or Invention Squad and are included in a free Spike Prime app. The lessons are theme-based which are relevant to today’s kids.
SPIKE Prime comes with 528 pieces that differ in shape and colour. The set also includes three motors including sensors, a series of data cable, multi-port hub that makes the brain of Prime. It also includes 11 completely new Lego elements like Technic base plate, new wheel design and a biscuit to allow more connections for challenges. The challenges can be like a traffic man robot with sunglasses and umbrella linking with various traffic data from around the city. Prime can be programmed to dance according to the colour of the block. Sensors are used to track colour, distance and pressure enabling children to design robots with different functionalities.
The SPIKE Prime is fully compactable with already existing Lego system bricks. Spike uses the universal building blocks of lego with the most basic block of them at its core: the classic four-by-two brick. This gives the builder varying options to build. The Lego Technic allows for very advanced mechanical assemblies with six degrees of freedom. New big frames and beams are designed to enhance the robot building process plus a new wheel design that has been designed for minimal contact surface with the ground in order to have less friction and more control.
The sensors in the new processor unit are optical and touch. The Hub also contains a six-axis Gyro with three-axis accelerometer, expandable USB port and a Bluetooth. Spike uses a graphical programming method which is a bit more complex based on Scratch coding language. These graphical building blocks have been designed to make programming fast and easy while allowing kids to think about logic and data management.
The Lego stem education dubai is a goal-oriented system that gives specific goals with guidance for kids. Lego is also offering lesson plans for teachers to get started in the classroom. A kid gaining experience in building and programming with SPIKE PRIME can work on more advanced projects that involve less hand-holding, like the Invention Squad unit, which is all about designing, testing, and evaluating prototypes.

Lego SPIKE Prime ni mchezo wa kuvutia wa uhandisi ambao unasaidia watoto kuelewa dhana za uhandisi na kuwasaidia kukua kuwa watu wenye kujiamini. SPIKE Prime tayari imekuwa muhimu kwa elimu ya STEAM. STEAM kujifunza instills ujasiri katika wanafunzi kwa kufanya kazi ya mikono juu ya mradi na wengine. Takwimu nyingi za mfumo wa elimu zinaonyesha kuwa wanafunzi wanaofundisha STEAM wana uwezekano mkubwa wa kuwa na akili, busara na kujiamini katika kujifunza vitu vipya. LEGO SPIKE PRIME ni mchezo wa michezo ya LEGO ambayo inatoa mafunzo ya ufundi kwa wanafunzi wa LEGO, na pia inawafundisha jinsi ya kufikiria kwa njia ya ubunifu na ya kiakili. Wao hupatikana kuwa wasikilizaji wazuri na kuwasiliana kwa matokeo na wengine. Lego Education imefunua bidhaa mpya zaidi ambayo inajumuisha mchakato wa kujifunza STEAM. Bidhaa hiyo inaitwa Lego Education SPIKE PRIME. SPIKE PRIME ni lengo kwa wanafunzi ambao ni kusoma kati ya darasa la sita hadi la nane. Bidhaa hiyo inakusanya matofali ya LEGO, hub ya programu, sensorer na motors zote zilizounganishwa kupitia programu ya SPIKE kulingana na lugha ya programu ya Scratch. Inaonekana zaidi kama kubuni retro kompyuta aliongoza na mapema Lego roboti kit. Kwa kweli, ni sanduku la vifaa na vifaa vya LEGO, na ni moja ya vifaa vya ujenzi zaidi katika ulimwengu wa vifaa vya LEGO. Programu ya SPIKE inajumuisha masomo yaliyolinganishwa na viwango maalum ambavyo vinaweza kukamilika ndani ya saa moja kufanya kazi ya mwalimu kuwa rahisi. SPIKE Prime inawawezesha walimu kufundisha uhandisi kwa watoto wakati wa madarasa yao ya mapema. Kwa kusikitisha, huwezi kuikubali katika maduka. Hizi ni moja kwa moja kusambazwa kwa taasisi za elimu ambayo kufuata STEAM Elimu Dubai. Watoto wawili au watatu wanaweza kucheza karibu na SPIKE Prime kutatua uhandisi na programu. Kuna mipango 32 tofauti ya masomo kwa watoto. Programu za masomo zimegawanywa katika vitengo vinne vya ufundishaji na majina kama vile Kickstarter Business au Invention Squad na ni pamoja na programu ya bure ya Spike Prime. Masomo ni mandhari-msingi ambayo ni muhimu kwa watoto wa leo. Spike Prime inakuja na vipande 528 ambavyo hutofautiana kwa umbo na rangi. Seti hiyo pia inajumuisha motors tatu ikiwa ni pamoja na sensorer, mfululizo wa kebo za data, hub ya bandari nyingi ambayo hufanya ubongo wa Prime. Pia inajumuisha vipengele vipya vya Lego kama vile sahani ya msingi ya Technic, muundo mpya wa gurudumu na biskuti ili kuruhusu uhusiano zaidi kwa changamoto. Mfano wa robot ya usafiri wa umma na miwani ya jua na mwavuli, ambayo inashiriki habari mbalimbali za usafiri wa umma. Prime inaweza kupangwa kucheza kulingana na rangi ya block. Sensorer hutumiwa kufuatilia rangi, umbali na shinikizo kuwezesha watoto kubuni roboti na utendaji tofauti. SPIKE Prime ni kikamilifu compactable na tayari zilizopo Lego mfumo matofali. Spike anatumia vitalu vya ujenzi vya ulimwengu wa lego na kiini cha msingi zaidi chao: matofali ya kawaida ya nne kwa mbili. Hilo humpa wajenzi chaguzi mbalimbali za kujenga. Lego Technic inaruhusu kwa ajili ya makusanyo ya hali ya juu sana mitambo na digrii sita za uhuru. Mifumo mpya na beams kubwa zimetengenezwa ili kuboresha mchakato wa ujenzi wa roboti, pamoja na muundo mpya wa gurudumu ambao umebuniwa kwa uso mdogo wa mawasiliano na ardhi ili kuwa na msuguano mdogo na udhibiti zaidi. Sensorer katika kitengo kipya cha processor ni optical na kugusa. Hub pia ina sita-mhimili Gyro na tatu-mhimili accelerometer, kupanuliwa USB bandari na Bluetooth. Spike hutumia mbinu ya programu ya picha ambayo ni kidogo ngumu zaidi kulingana na lugha ya coding ya Scratch. Hizi graphic ujenzi vitalu wamekuwa iliyoundwa kufanya programu ya haraka na rahisi wakati kuruhusu watoto kufikiri kuhusu mantiki na usimamizi wa data. Lego Stem Education Dubai ni mfumo wa lengo-oriented ambayo inatoa malengo maalum na mwongozo kwa ajili ya watoto. Lego pia inatoa mipango ya masomo kwa walimu kuanza katika darasa. Mtoto anayepata uzoefu wa kujenga na programu na SPIKE PRIME anaweza kufanya kazi kwenye miradi ya hali ya juu ambayo inahusisha kushikilia kidogo, kama vile kitengo cha Invention Squad, ambayo ni juu ya kubuni, kupima, na kutathmini prototypes. ATLAB, moja ya waanzilishi wa elimu ya kwanza nchini Saudi Arabia, sasa ni mtoaji mkuu wa Lego SPIKE PRIME Kit.
