Since its introduction in 1998, the groundbreaking LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education robotics system has helped thousands of students grasp STEM concepts while emphasizing creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. The ability to combine that platform with TETRIX® now enables students to take their robotic creations to the next level. And it’s really easy to get started.
How it Works
Combining LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT with TETRIX can help to convert your high school classroom into a hands-on, minds-on robotics laboratory. Your students will model real-life mechanisms and use creativity, logic, and problem-solving skills to meet challenges with today’s technologies all while learning necessary science, technology, engineering, and math concepts.
