Ready to take robotics to the next level? In LEGO Robotics Challenge Lab, young engineers tackle exciting design challenges using the powerful LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime robotics system. Through hands-on building, coding, and teamwork, students create robots that can navigate obstacles, solve missions, and complete increasingly creative engineering challenges.

Whether they’re returning robotics enthusiasts or ready for a bigger challenge, every Lab offers a fresh opportunity to build, experiment, and innovate.

Topics explored include:

• Advanced robotics challenges – Design, build, and improve robots using motors, sensors, and real-world engineering concepts.
• Powerful block-based coding – Use Word Blocks to program movement, sensors, loops, logic, and variables while developing computational thinking skills.
• Design → Build → Program → Improve – Test ideas, troubleshoot problems, refine designs, and watch robots complete exciting missions.
• Engineering through teamwork – Collaborate with other innovators to solve open-ended challenges that encourage creativity, communication, and perseverance.

A new challenge every visit – Every Lab features a different engineering mission, making it easy to jump in whenever your schedule allows.
