Courses and lessons with this Material

This Material is used in the following courses and lessons

Level C2 - Cooperation - Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Prime

The sixth level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum is designed for students in third or fourth grade.

For the first time, two different robots are required to solve a challenge. Students learn how to cooperate, agree on a shared plan, and divide their roles. They build a variety of robots, including a crane that loads a sorter. Students also use two sensors at the same time to locate their target and to check whether their partner robot is ready to complete its part of the challenge.
