SPIKE Prime is a comprehensive, digitally enhanced STEAM learning solution, which offers a broad range of units covering STEAM subjects, including engineering, science, and computer science. SPIKE Prime is the go-to solution for secondary education as it engages students in critical thinking, data analysis, and prototype development as they refine creative hands-on solutions to real-world problems. It allows them to explore topics like data science while setting the foundation for future study of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

When connecting to a Hub that hasn't been renamed, the LEGO ® Education SPIKE ™ App will automatically ask you to rename it. Giving each Hub a unique name will help you differentiate between multiple Hubs in close proximity (e.g., when using Bluetooth). When a user connects a Hub to their device, the app verifies compatibility with the installed version of the OS. If it’s not compatible, the app notifies the user that the OS must be updated before continuing. If you have bought an item from us that proves to be faulty, please let us know as soon as the fault becomes apparent so we are able to help. Connect the Hub to your computer using the USB cable supplied with your LEGO ® Education SPIKE ™ Prime Set

The Hub uses standard USB 500mA charging current. The charging time (from empty to full) is approximately 3 hours. Your Hub OS has been recently updated, and your Hub needs to be restarted. Restart your Hub by holding down the Center Button for approximately 20 seconds. As with all of the LEGO Learning System solutions, we recommend one set for every two students in a classroom setting. You can only use the Rechargeable Battery that comes in the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Set. It’s charged using the micro-USB cable that’s included in the set. The battery is also available to buy separately. Every lesson is designed to help students develop a full range of STEAM skills. SPIKE Prime mainly covers curriculum standards within science, engineering, and computer science, with extension activities that contribute to literacy and math. For detailed market-specific educational standards, please see the individual activities on LEGOeducation.com/lessons .

These solutions have different learning focuses. LEGO ® Education BricQ Motion Prime is designed as a hands-on introduction to the LEGO Learning System with a focus on physical science and experimenting with forces, motion, and interactions. It’s an analog solution that doesn’t require any technology.Combines with the LEGO ® Education SPIKE ™ Prime Set (45678) and free SPIKE App to give over 10 hours of curriculum-based, competition-ready learning. Hub updates differ depending on the device you’re using. To update your Hub, simply follow the instructions below or the in-app instructions that will appear when an update is needed. We recommend using a high-quality power charger from a reputable brand because these are often DVP- (dedicated charging port) or CDP- (charging downstream port) type chargers. If no one answers the door when our courier attempts delivery they'll leave a card letting you know they've been and which of the following actions they've taken

SPIKE Essential is designed to get primary school students excited about STEAM learning at a young age with playful and relatable problem-solving challenges that help them become resilient, independent thinkers. You’ll find SPIKE Prime lesson plans on LEGOeducation.com/lessons along with online lesson plans and teaching resources for all LEGO Education products. You can search by product, grade, subject, or keyword to find an engaging lesson that fits your needs. Like all of the LEGO Learning System products, the SPIKE Prime curriculum is available in 21 languages: English (US), English (UK), English (AU), Chinese (simplified), Japanese, Russian, German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, French, Italian, Korean, Portuguese (BR), Spanish, Spanish (MX), Polish, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Arabic.

If the Hub isn't going to be used for an extended period, we suggest fully charging the battery before storing it. Storing the Hub with a completely drained battery is not recommended. You can also extend the battery life by removing the battery from your Hub before storing it.

SPIKE Prime is designed for Middle School students aged 10+. The target age group may vary between countries because country-specific curriculum needs determine where each lesson is mapped. BricQ Motion Prime gives students a strong foundational understanding of physical science concepts (i.e., forces, motion, and interactions) while setting the stage for computational thinking (e.g., cause and effect, data analysis and synthesis). You can turn off the hub by pressing the button and holding it down for 10 seconds till the light turns off. The LEGO ® Education SPIKE ™ Prime Set contains 528 LEGO Elements.
