LEGO Education DUPLO Coding Express. Product Code: 732175

Make your train pause, stop, change direction, sound the horn, and more with LEGO Education DUPLO Coding Express 45025. Taking the familiarity of a train and combining it with the new action bricks, early learners will learn through play about sequencing, looping, conditional coding, and cause and effect by placing the new action bricks within the train’s track. Each action brick creates a specific action allowing students to test and redesign ways to problem-solve and work together to get their train to its destination.

Based on the ever popular train theme, the highly versatile LEGO DUPLO solution allows children to make connections and intuitively explore early coding concepts, such as sequencing, looping, and conditional coding while developing problem-solving skills, critical thinking, collaboration, and social and emotional skills.

The child led free optional app provides four areas for preschoolers to explore: Journeys, Characters, Music and Math. The different themed activities change the way the action bricks behave, altering the effect on the train. The activities are open ended and preschoolers will practice a variety of skills relevant for early childhood development:

Journeys: Tags as destinations – sequencing events and language

Characters: Tags as emotional reactions – action/reaction and social and emotional development

Music: Tags as melodies/instruments – exploring, sequencing and looping sound

Math: Assigning values for movement – exploring action/re-action
