LEGO ® Education does not have a trade-in program. Can I trade it in for WeDo 2.0 and pay the difference in cost? I just bought a whole classroom set of WeDo 1. No, WeDo 1.0 is not backward compatible with WeDo 2.0. Will WeDo 1.0 continue to be compatible with WeDo 2.0? WeDo 2.0 is an investment for the future with continued product growth and you will receive a better and fuller experience with updated support and continued enhancements. We will not develop any new components, experiences, curriculum or content for the WeDo 1.0 platform. We do not encourage new purchases of WeDo 1.0 sets since replacement parts will eventually run out of stock. Contact your local distributor for more details. However, special conditions or prices by region may vary. LEGO ® Education has no plans to lower the price of WeDo 1.0 as we phase out this product as of December 31, 2017. Will the price of the current WeDo 1.0 be lowered as it gets closer to the end of 2017? LEGO Education will no longer promote, sell, or gain new users of WeDo 1.0 as of December 31, 2017. Once the replacement supply is exhausted, there will be no more WeDo 1.0 replacement support. However, WeDo 1.0 will no longer be manufactured in 2018 and our replacement supply will not be replenished. As long as LEGO Education has WeDo 1.0 replacement parts in stock, we can continue to supply solutions to faulty equipment. Anything without a warranty beyond 2017, we cannot guarantee a replacement. LEGO ® Education will honor any warranty that is still valid after 2017 for replacement parts. Will LEGO Education stop supporting WeDo 1.0 by the end of 2017? However, local distributors will sell WeDo 1.0 as long as stocks last and LEGO Education will continue to provide support through our customer service and tech support teams for an additional 2 years. No, LEGO ® Education WeDo 1.0 will not be available from LEGO Education after December 31, 2017. The link above goes directly to the WeDo section.Will WeDo 1.0 still be available beyond 2017? Not all of the building instructions are included (yet) for the WeDo constructions displayed. This site, by Diego Gálvez, has constructions for both NXT and WeDo. The programmes for each project are available but not the building steps so users will have to figure them out for themselves from the photos and videos. It not only has the original 12 builds but some 20 more (and counting) with both visual building instructions and a video showing the completed project.įabio and Pietro Formenti have created a blog with awesome projects. WeDoBots: The unofficial blog for LEGO WeDo Designs Her blog includes a vehicle displaying some of the student creations. Stephanie Greer describes a mini-lesson, the “WeDo Vehicle Challenge” that she used with her 7 to 9th grade students in her after school club. Stefan even includes some rather sophisticated math to explain the centrifugal forces at work in the Governor project. Stefan Bracher has building directions and the programme for three very cool projects – Speed Governor, Rocket, and Cable Car. The list below is by no means complete and additions are welcome. There is also a fabulous developing list of activities (building projects) developed by teachers and robotics enthusiasts posted online.

LEGO Education offered a set of four Extension activities and the WeDo 8+ Projects Curriculum Pack.

The WeDo kit comes with 12 activities that start with a motivating animation, followed by easy to follow building and programming directions.
