About
Using LEGO Education SPIKE Essentials, younger children build motorised theme-park models — think spinning rides and moving attractions — and then use simple block-based coding to make them work. It is a playful, first taste of engineering and programming, combining familiar LEGO bricks with motors and an easy drag-and-drop app. This morning session at The Word in South Shields is pitched at ages 6–8, with all the kit provided and staff on hand to help.
Book in advance through The Word's website.
