The LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 app has just launched in the Windows Store and is available for free to download. The app is designed for use by educators looking for a fun and interactive way to teach students about engineering, technology, and programming.

Here’s the official app description: The LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 app allows you to explore great science projects, including engineering, technology, and programming. Incorporating a Project Library with 17 projects, 40 hours of material are included along with a Design Library packed with inspirational ideas. The WeDo 2.0 app contains all you need to create successful, motivating, and engaging science projects.

Why:

What:

The LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 app is obviously different than the popular LEGO video games (pictured) that can be found on video game consoles such as theXbox One and Xbox 360and is more tool than game. Still, it has a lot of potential for entertainment with children and adults who like a little more education with their digital media.

“LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 is a hands-on, elementary science solution that develops science practices in the classroom through a robot-based learning system. The unique solution combines the LEGO® brick, classroom-friendly software, engaging, standards-based projects and every student’s desire to discover the world around them,” says a statement on theofficial Education WeDo 2.0 website. “With WeDo 2.0, students will explore, create, and share their scientific discoveries as they build, program, and modify projects. As they collaborate, they deeply engage with science, engineering, technology, and coding, sparking a love for experimentation and investigation. Teachers receive support through training, curriculum and built-in assessment.”

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
