LEGO® WeDo & Spike Challenges

WRO Australia will be continuing with two competition formats for children under 10 years old, based on the engaging LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 and Spike platforms.

WeDo 2.0 gives primary students the ideal tools to work on to develop their robotics and programming skills. The block-based programming platform of WeDo 2.0 is a natural first step towards the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® platform, which makes this new competition format a great entry point into WRO.

WeDo 2.0 is not only easy-to-use, but also enables students to build more elaborate and complex robots? By using the WeDo 2.0 multihub function, students can connect 3 hubs to one device* and then use a function called “send block” to send commands from one device to another (if they share the same network). This way, there is no limit to your creativity!

*For the best multihub function experience, we recommend the iOS system.

Please Note: WeDo Challenges are not included in the international final. Teams may participate at the local, regional and national level only.
