Looks like if you want to get the youngsters into computers, you must start them at an early age with STEM oriented toys.

LEGO just introduced SPIKE PRIME, a kit which is designed to help teachers and parents use their blocks to understand computer coding.

LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime is a powerful STEAM learning solution for middle school that combines LEGO bricks, coding language based on Scratch, and a programmable multi-port Hub to help every learner become a confident learner.

SPIKE Prime offers lessons for:
• Engineering
• Computer Science
• Science
• Competitions
• Technology

I was happy when my LEGO’s built a house, but now they are building robots!

Here is a preview of the new parts you should be able to purchase by August 1st from Antons Mindstorms Hacks

“I think they will also make it into retail boxes soon. LEGO SPIKE Prime is a new addition to the LEGO Education range. It sits right between MINDSTORMS and WeDo. It’s like an easier version of MINDSTORMS. Or a more powerful version of WeDo. The specs are very interesting.”
