Lego Robotics Essential Foundation

Ustar provides systematic study of Lego Robotics Learning System, where we focus on igniting students’ passion for STEAM learning through playful problem solving and storytelling, preparing them to be resilient, independent thinkers.

We use LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential set, which is the cross-curricular STEAM solution for primary education. SPIKE Essential engages students in hands-on investigation of STEAM concepts while contributing to literacy, math, and social-emotional development. Standards-aligned learning units use everyday themes, relatable Minifigures with different personalities and familiar LEGO® building elements to solve problems through storytelling.
