New LEGO Education 2021: 45345 SPIKE Essential Set

LEGO dévoile aujourd'hui a new benchmark in its Education range, the set 45345 SPIKE Essential Set, intended for children in primary school (from CP to CM2). This box joins the educational universe SPIKE composed until now of references 45678 SPIKE Prime (399.99 €) and 45680 SPIKE Prime Expansion Set (119.99 €).

In the yellow box of 449 pieces with its two storage bins, enough to carry out some educational and fun experiences using the new compact Technic Hub (45609) equipped with 2 inputs / outputs, Bluetooth connectivity of a six-axis gyroscope and a new 630 mAh lithium-ion battery (45612) rechargeable via the integrated microUSB port.

The kit designed to occupy two students also contains two new Technic compact angular motors (45607) a color sensor (45605) and a programmable 3x3 display (45608). All these elements will also be available separately individually.

In addition to the small box containing replacement elements supplied in the set, two packs of parts are provided to compensate for the inevitable "losses" over time: the references 2000722 SPIKE Essential Replacement Pack 1 (97 pieces) and 2000723 SPIKE Essential Replacement Pack 2 (4 replacement minifigs).

As with all products in the LEGO Education range, the manufacturer offers educational outlines, here for around forty lessons.

This new kit will be available for the public price of $ 274.95 starting September 1, 2021 from official resellers.
