Why it’s in

  • The new LEGO school standard: it replaces SPIKE Prime (sales ended 30 June 2026) and becomes the FIRST LEGO League platform from the 2026–27 season.
  • Cable-free electronics and ready-made lessons make it easy to run with groups of four.
  • From LEGO Education (Denmark), sold through dealers across Europe.

What bothers us

  • Much simpler hardware than SPIKE Prime: one or two motors and a colour sensor per kit; a review of the same hardware in LEGO Education Science calls the models “quite symbolic”.
  • Every motor, sensor and controller has its own battery that must be charged separately.
  • The AI unit teaches concepts such as classification; the models’ only sensor for their surroundings is a colour sensor.
