  • Page 3 Program with WeDo 2.0 Programming is an important part of twenty-first century learning, and it is an essential part of all WeDo 2.0 projects. It gives life to the models students have created and teaches them computational thinking.
  • Page 4 Program with WeDo 2.0 Designing solutions with LEGO® programming blocks The WeDo 2.0 projects will take you and your students on a journey of using programming concepts to activate models and to create innovative solutions. These programming concepts have been organised by function in the Design Library.
  • Page 5 Programming blocks are used in WeDo 2.0 software to build a program string. These blocks with symbols are used instead of text-based code. 3. Program String A program string is a sequence of programming blocks. The last block of the program string marks the end of the program. ©2017 The LEGO Group.

  • Page 22 Build with WeDo 2.0 WeDo 2.0 has been designed to provide opportunities for students to sketch, build, and test prototypes and representations of objects, animals, and vehicles that have a real-world focus. The hands-on approach encourages students to be fully engaged in the designing and building process.
  • Page 23 Build with WeDo 2.0 Designing solutions with LEGO® Bricks The WeDo 2.0 projects will take you and your students on a journey of using mechanisms to bring models to life. These mechanisms have been ordered by function in the Design Library.
  • Page 24 Name of the Part: Bevel Gear A bevel gear is an angled gear that can be placed perpendicular to another gear, changing the axis of the rotation. For example, used in these Design Library base models: Flex, Wobble, Push, Turn ©2017 The LEGO Group.
  • Page 25 A worm is a continual spiral groove like a screw, which meshes with a gear. The worm is designed to turn a normal gear, but the gear cannot turn the worm, therefore, it functions as a brake. For example, used in these Design Library base models: Revolve ©2017 The LEGO Group.
  • Page 26 For example, used in these Design Library base models: Crank Name of the Part: Wheels It’s a circular element that rotates on an axis to produce propelled movement. For example, used in these Design Library base models: Wobble, Drive, Steer ©2017 The LEGO Group.
  • Page 27 For example, used in these Design Library base models: Reel, Lift, Drive, Sweep, Revolve, Grab Important Using a pulley in a mechanism will prevent the model from breaking when it meets resistance as the belt will slip in the pulley. ©2017 The LEGO Group.
  • Page 28 The Smarthub will use colour patterns to signal messages: • Flashing white light: Waiting for a Bluetooth connection. • Blue light: Bluetooth connection is established. • Flashing orange light: The power provided to the motor is at its limit. ©2017 The LEGO Group.
  • Page 29 Motors makes other things move. This Medium Motor uses electricity to make an axle rotate. The motor can be started in both directions, can be stopped, and can run at different speeds for a specified amount of time (seconds). ©2017 The LEGO Group.
  • Page 30 This sensor detects changes in distance from an object within its range in three different ways: • Object moving closer • Object moving farther away • Object changing position Make sure you have the correct icon in your program that corresponds to the position you are trying to detect. ©2017 The LEGO Group.
