WeDo2.0 Core Set
This set is the basic robotics kit the team is going to work with. It can be used for many years, so you don’t have to buy this every year.
Playmakers Explore set
Every year the Explore challenge theme change, so every year you will need a new Explore set.
Team Meeting Guide:
This is a practical guide for Coaches in which each session is outlined.
Engineering Notebook:
Each learner will receive an engineering notebook. In this book, learners can make notes or drawings of their designs. This book will help learners at a regional tournament or at a Class Pack Celebration event, to explain their work to the reviewers. and to show their journey through the Explore season.
Tablet, laptop or Computer
Every team will need a Bluetooth enabled tablet, laptop or computer on which they can do their programming.
What does a team need for practise?
Find a meeting space, such as as a classroom, playroom or garage. A table for the kids to build their Lego models on and for their laptop/tablet when they do programming, will be great.
◊ Keep in mind that a child can only be in 1 team for a season, but a Coach can have multiple teams.
WeDo2.0 can be bought from Hands on Technologies.
