App: SPIKE™ Legacy LEGO® Education
Developer: LEGO Education
Genres: Education

Engage every student in playful STEAM learning with the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ App. Designed for use with the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Portfolio, the SPIKE App
is a powerful and inclusive tool that helps teachers facilitate engaging, hands-on STEAM learning. LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential and LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime encourage students of all learning levels to move from simple explorations to tackling increasingly complex real-world challenges through building and coding.
 
Intuitive, Exciting, and Fun 
The SPIKE App provides multiple intuitive coding environments which, when combined with SPIKE Prime or SPIKE Essential, offer a naturally adaptive, physical, and digitally creative system that teachers and students alike love to use. Students first progress from using simple icon-blocks to word-block coding based on Scratch, and finally Python to code their creations and bring STEAM learning to life. The SPIKE App delivers exciting and playful learning experiences for students of all abilities. 
 
Accelerate STEAM Learning 
In addition to Getting Started material for both SPIKE Essential and SPIKE Prime, the SPIKE App includes 10 unit plans containing standards-aligned lessons with integrated building instructions for primary and secondary school students. These units engage students in meaningful STEAM challenges using playful lessons with clear intentionality and grade progression, scaffolded to support teachers and students in building essential skills. The accompanying online lesson plans support teachers with a wealth of accessible, interactive support material, giving them everything they need to bring STEAM learning safely and sustainably into their classrooms. 


Build STEAM Confidence 
Future-proof your students’ skills and make them confident lifelong learners by giving them unlimited possibilities for playful, hands-on STEAM learning with the LEGO® Learning System. The SPIKE Portfolio is part of the LEGO® Learning System’s range of interconnected solutions that can be introduced individually or as a complete system. They supplement each other, and together, they unlock unlimited learning opportunities. When combined with SPIKE Essential or SPIKE Prime, the SPIKE App allows students to apply their learning and go deep into coding, technology, and digital integration. They develop computational thinking skills using a progression of icon-block, word-block, and text-based coding. Programming a SPIKE Essential or SPIKE Prime multi-port Hub and connecting motors and sensors with a system of LEGO elements encourages students to build, tinker, and experiment - progressing from simple creations to complex structures and mechanisms. They learn to program, think like engineers, test and tweak designs, debug and optimize, operate with integers, play with data, create stories with LEGO® Minifigures, prepare for FLL (FIRST® LEGO® League) competitions, and more!
 
*** IMPORTANT*** 
This isn't a standalone educational app. This app is used to program SPIKE Essential and SPIKE Prime, which are sold separately. Please contact your local LEGO® Education reseller for further information.
