Today I was involved in a Lego WeDo [2] session at Paignton Library,

I wrote a session plan [1] a while back and submitted this to the library.

The session went quite well, despite a few teething problems with wifi and sotware. We started off using the models I had previously built to experiment with the WeDo kit.

However the kit did seem to prove popular, we had one person drop in and have ago who was already at Lego Club. So the idea that this being within the Lego club area, was good as it attracted further interest.

What we need is a set of our own tablets + software installed and working so that we can just get on and build projects at future sessions.

As I am running a Lego WeDo session on 29th. I spent some time (about an hour) preparing for the session at Paignton Library.

Firstly I built a basic windmill model and attached the Lego Hub and motor to this, I have also attached the distance / IR sensor.

I also built a very basic car to which a motor and hub can be attached later.

The plan tomorrow, will be to demonstrate the model, introduce the WeDo software and hardware, including sensors. The attendees, can then build their own, models and experiment with these.

We have several Lego kits, so we can probably in small groups.

The idea is to investigate what we can do, and maybe come up with ideas on how the library can make use of these resources.
