Designed to provide meaningful literacy experiences in computer science and AI, LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI 1st-2nd-3rd Grade empowers educators through engaging lessons that put experiential collaboration at the heart of each experience. With 276 colorful LEGO® bricks, a single motor, a color sensor, building instructions, and a USB charging cable, each kit transforms computer science and AI into an immersive, interactive, and collaborative experience
When paired with the LEGO® Education Coding Canvas, students dive into a world of simple, icon-based coding that connects wirelessly to their hardware and transforms the classroom into a dynamic space for critical thinking and problem solving. The kit includes a framework and sequence of 30 inquiry-based, standards-aligned lessons that integrate seamlessly into existing curricula or provide stand-alone coverage of the Computer Science & AI curriculum. The sets are easy to use and reduce preparation time, so teachers can focus on experiential, student-led learning.
Easy to use and scalable, the graded lessons adapt to different levels of experience, helping teachers identify what to teach and when. With age-appropriate computer science, AI, and coding lessons, students in grades 1-3 collaborate to solve problems and find solutions, unlocking limitless learning possibilities that take their ideas beyond imagination. Get ready to inspire your students and help them connect abstract concepts of computing and AI with real-world applications
Guides teachers through the 5E lesson model with notes aligned to presentation slides for easier lesson preparation and delivery
Prepares teachers with a foundation of computing concepts and vocabulary for each lesson
Includes guidance for students working in groups of four and their roles
Provides estimated time for each part of the lesson
LEGO® Education offers an computing solution supported by real-world testing and feedback. A solution that is meaningful, relevant, and specifically designed with the needs of both students and teachers in mind.
LESSONS
Unit 1: Fundamentals
Students learn collaborative routines and build together. Students will model everyday processes and decompose problems
Unit 2: Hardware
Students learn to describe how hardware works,
exploring the relationship between inputs and outputs
Unit 3: Events
Students learn about events. Events are actions that cause something to happen
Unit 4: Sequences
Students learn about sequences. Sequences are sets of steps in a specific order to complete tasks
Unit 5: Loops
Students learn about the concept of loops, which are used to repeat a sequence of code multiple times
Unit 6: AI & Data
Students engage with AI categorization to explore how computers can learn from data
