  Technic™ Large Hub Battery

  The LEGO® Technic™ Large Hub Battery (45610) is the rechargeable power pack for the Technic Large Hub (45601), the programmable controller of the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set (45678). It is the same battery supplied with both the Large Hub and the SPIKE Prime Set. Its high-capacity 2,100 mAh lithium-ion cells allow longer use between charges. The battery can be charged while it is still fitted in the hub using a micro USB cable, and it can be removed quickly without any tools when it needs replacing. A spare battery helps teachers keep robots running across back-to-back lessons and replace cells that have worn out over time. It is aimed at middle-school classrooms (Grades 6-8) using SPIKE Prime. LEGO® Education lists this item as retired, so availability may depend on remaining stock.

  Technic™ 3x3 Color Light Matrix

  The LEGO® Technic™ 3x3 Color Light Matrix (45608) is a programmable light module that is part of the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential Set. It lets students give their models faces, signals, indicators and other visual effects. The matrix has 9 RGB LEDs, and each one can be programmed individually to show any of 10 colours at 10 brightness levels. Transitions between two frames can be instant, faded or swiped. Its Technic build geometry makes it easy to attach inside models, and it connects to the LEGO Technic Small Hub (45609) or Large Hub (45601). As a spare or add-on part, it replaces lost or damaged units and gives classes extra light modules for more ambitious projects. It is designed for primary classrooms (Grades 1-5) and also works with SPIKE Prime. LEGO® Education lists this item as retired, so availability may depend on remaining stock.

  SPIKE™ Micro USB Connector Cable

  The LEGO® Technic™ Micro USB Connector Cable (45611) is the official cable for connecting LEGO Technic programmable hubs, such as the Large Hub (45601) of the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set, to compatible computers and tablets. The cable carries data between the hub and the device, so students can download programs and teachers can carry out firmware updates. It also doubles as a charging cable for the Large Hub, recharging its battery while it stays in place. LEGO® Education lists it as compatible with the SPIKE™ Prime Set (45678) and the SPIKE™ Essential Set (45345). Cables are among the parts most often lost or damaged in busy classrooms, so a spare keeps hubs charged and connected without interrupting lessons. It is listed for Grades 6-8. LEGO® Education lists this item as retired, so availability may depend on remaining stock.

  VEX 123 Robot Kit

  The VEX 123 Robot Kit is a single-robot kit for early learners, from Pre-K through the early primary grades. It includes one 123 Robot in red, green or blue, a 123 Coder, a robot art ring, a USB-C charging cable and a 50-pack of English Coder Cards. Children can program the robot in three progressively richer ways. First they press the touch buttons on top of the robot to build movement and sound sequences. Next they slot Coder Cards into the Coder to create programs away from tablets and computers. Finally they use VEXcode 123, a drag-and-drop block environment powered by Scratch, on tablets, Chromebooks, Mac or Windows. The robot has an internal rechargeable lithium iron cell that charges over USB-C in about 1.5 hours and is designed to last a full classroom day, while the Coder runs on two AAA batteries. Teachers can use VEX STEM Labs lessons, and an optional 123 Field provides a defined play space for activities.

  VEX GO Robot Kit

  The VEX GO Robot Kit (VEX GO Education Kit with Storage, 269-6705) is a single-robot construction system designed for elementary students in Grades 3-5. Students build models from color-coded beams, plates, gears, pulleys, wheels and pins, then bring them to life with a Brain, a battery, a switch, three motors, an Eye Sensor, an LED Bumper and an electromagnet. Builds are programmed with VEXcode GO, a block-based coding environment, and the kit is supported by standards-aligned STEM Labs, the STEM Library, build instructions and printable classroom resources. Students explore engineering and design thinking, coding and computational thinking, physical science, and math and data in project-based activities. Parts arrive pre-sorted in clear-lidded, stackable storage, which keeps classroom setup and clean-up simple. The battery uses rechargeable lithium iron cells, charges via USB-C in about 2.5 hours and is designed to last a full classroom day. No prior robotics experience is needed to start teaching.

  VEX IQ Robot Kit (2nd generation)

  The VEX IQ Robot Kit (2nd generation), sold as the VEX IQ Education Kit (228-8899), is a single-robot kit that builds coding and engineering confidence for students in Grades 5-8. It uses reusable, snap-together plastic parts, so students can design, build and rebuild robots without tools. The electronics include a Robot Brain, a Controller, a rechargeable Robot Battery, four Smart Motors, a Touch LED, a Bumper Switch, an Optical Sensor, a Distance Sensor and a set of Smart Cables. These are combined with beams, plates, gears, sprockets and chain, shafts, wheels and connectors for a wide range of mechanisms. Students program their robots with VEXcode and work through standards-aligned STEM Labs, practicing engineering design and collaborative problem solving. The robot battery charges over USB-C in about two hours and lasts a full classroom day, and the kit can later be upgraded to the Competition Kit with the Education-to-Competition Upgrade Kit.

  VEX IQ Pneumatics Kit

  The VEX IQ Pneumatics Kit (228-8795) introduces compressed-air power to VEX IQ robots. Pneumatics produce quick, strong linear motion, which makes them well suited to mechanisms that only need two positions, such as a claw that opens and closes or an intake that deploys up and down. The kit includes two 70 mL air tanks, an air pump, four 4-pitch-stroke cylinders, four 2-pitch-stroke cylinders, two pneumatic solenoids, 3 m of 4 mm tubing, ten tee fittings and ten straight fittings, enough to equip a classroom robot or a competition team. Students learn how air pressure can be stored and released to do work, and how to control pneumatic components from their robot code. VEX provides guides explaining the kit components, example configurations and how to code pneumatics, and the kit is legal for the VEX IQ Robotics Competition.
