The training aims to familiarise participants with the basics of LEGO Education SPIKE Essential hardware, software and curricula. The trainees will build a series of machines, program them and solve problems using skills from the STEAM and programming spectrum, following exactly the same approach and resources that they will use in their classroom to introduce their students to STEAM using SPIKE Essential. The course is designed to be engaging and fun with educational experiences that provide a fundamental introduction to LEGO Education’s approach to modern education as well as the concept of learning through play. Each activity is followed by a discussion of the methodology, its application to the curriculum, its implementation and how it can be adapted to the classroom and the students’ knowledge levels. To support the participants’ confident success we provide time and guidance for them to design their own first lessons using the learning materials and teaching approach. At the end of the training, participants are fully prepared to introduce and successfully implement LEGO Education SPIKE Essential in their classroom.
