Unveiled today, SPIKE Prime is a whole new way of bringing STEAM into the classroom. The new product is designed to help middle schoolers build the confidence to try new things. Combining the physical and digital worlds through LEGO® bricks, sensors, motors and an intelligent hub.

Students build fun and engaging creations, and then use the SPIKE App to bring those creations to life through Scratch-based coding. Cross-curriculum lesson plans are easy for teachers to bring into classrooms and relatable to students. SPIKE Prime is available today to pre-order in the US.
New Confidence in Learning Poll – the study, fielded by Harris Insights & Analytics, points to the lack of confidence in learning. The study found that students need hands-on learning to build confidence and improve educational outcomes that prepare students for the future.
  • Only 17% of students are “very confident” when it comes to learning STEAM subject
  • 76% of teachers agree that anxiety and lack of confidence hinders learning among their students.
  • 95% of teachers believe hands-on learning builds confidence, yet 91% of teachers would like to integrate more into their classes and a full 41% go so far as to say it’s not typical at their school.
 
New LEGO Bricks
LEGO Education and The LEGO Group are also introducing 11 entirely new elements to the classic LEGO System of bricks, first seen with SPIKE Prime. These brand-new elements include an innovative integrator brick, which allows for building together with both the LEGO Technic and the LEGO system platforms, further expanding systematic creativity and the building possibilities in the classroom and beyond.
