It’s aimed at the same 6-10 year old group, and functions in much the same way. We havent seen a UK retail price for LEGO Boost yet. Lego Boost is the home-equivalent of Lego WeDo 2.0, so you’ll often see it at toy retailers. Here is a brief guide to the various kits. I'll just buy Boost first, this year, and expand it later. Prices of 159.99 EURO and 199.99 (CAD) have also bee provided. Getting Started Getting started with LEGO robotics can feel overwhelming because there are so many options. But if Boost and WeDo2.0 are compatible/the same, well no worries. Previously, both Lego Boost and WeDo 2.0 have been using Scratch as the. If I buy WeDo now, and Lego will not support it in the future, this would be a shame. A bit of contextual information is also in order here: this is not the first time Scratch is associated with Lego. It would be a lot easier if I knew the future of WeDo and Boost. Moreover we both parents have interest and knowledge in Coding, so we could support our Kids with the "Educational" WeDo set, while Boost seems to be more.
WeDo 2.0 also works with PC/Linux and even Scratch (if I remember correctly).
My problem is that I'm not sure wich one to buy ) Boost seems somewhat limited, only offering a Tablet App. But the Lego Homepage stated that Power Functions will be updated someday. I know that Boost is not compatible with Mindstorms or the Power Functions.
#Lego boost vs wedo vs mindstorms software
Has someone actually TRIED to combine Boost and WeDo2.0 blocks? Or managed to use Boost with the WeDo Software (on PC)? Unlike Lego Mindstorms, the brick company's 'expert' line, Lego Boost aims younger, at kids 7-12.(There's another kit, Lego WeDo, that's similar but education-targeted.).Boost has a mix of. Sorry to unearth this but I have the same question and couldn't find an answer. If Boost motors and sensors were compatible then it would make that purchase that much more easy right now because I'd feel I was just adding to his library/capability for a couple of years until he is, like you say 10 or 11.įear not, the chance to be a big kid has me giddy with excitement to build with him, but I take your point - its important not to overwhelm him with complexity that will discourage him. From what I have read they will roll out the connection to power functions eventually, but right now for him to progress and create the ideas in his head very soon he will need another motor/smart hub which is we do 2.0 compatible, the easy (but expensive) option is to buy another we do 2.0 set ( £125 for whole set vs £75 for just motor+smart hub). Unfortunately the current Power functions on sale here (which I did pick up first) is not compatible with we do 2.0, the connections are different. I'm lucky in that I have a lot of Lego technic from my younger years, I've supplemented it with odd parts here and there that were lacking, which I thought were helpful.
