As part of an event last week highlighting the role Lego can play in teaching kids about coding and engineering, Lego brought students to New York to show off their cool Lego-based projects, which included infrared-sensing robots, mobile printers and a tasty M&M candy machine.
Lego Education Coding Express teaches programming concepts to young kids through simple colors. Kids can play with a programmable train, caterpillar or other buildable creation that works with an optional mobile app.
Kids can place blue, yellow, green, red and white bricks on the track, and the Coding Express vehicle will recognize the colors as it travels and respond accordingly.
