Actually, several tasks in the app strongly suggest you do.

The app provides several robot building instructions and, of course, programming software with tasks to complete.īesides the bricks, physical contents include a cardboard mat for testing, which you can use when playing with robots. According to the picture guide on the box, one must download and install the LEGO Boost app in order to fully make use of the set. There are no paper instructions inside the box. Since November, several devices with Windows 10 OS can also be used. LEGO Boost set is recommended for children 7 to 12 years old. What’s inside the set? What are its advantages and weaknesses? Is it only for home-use, or can you introduce it to the classroom? Can Boost compete with WeDo? How does it compare? In this article, we try to answer these questions and many others. Fortunately, several system updates later, we managed to run LEGO Boost app on Windows 10 laptop computer and finally, test the product. Then, the dedicated app simply refused to work with any of our tablets. First, we received a set without several parts, so we had to wait for another LEGO package. Interestingly, the testing process involved some unforeseen adventures. Therefore, although the product wasn’t designed strictly for educational purposes, we decided to test it out for you. This is quite surprising, because the set was based on LEGO WeDo 2.0, which is well-liked. Generally, user reviews are rather disapproving. RoboCamp team decided to check how far the differences go. This product, unlike the LEGO WeDo series created for educational purposes, was designed for individual customers – children and their parents. LEGO Boost #17101 is the newest robotics set produced by LEGO.
