SPIKE Overview

What is SPIKE? The LEGO Education SPIKE App is a tool designed for teachers to facilitate engaging, hands-on STEAM learning using the LEGO Education SPIKE Portfolio. The app provides multiple coding environments, from simple icon-blocks to Python, to code creations and bring STEAM learning to life. It includes 10 unit plans with integrated building instructions for primary and secondary school students, engaging them in meaningful STEAM challenges with clear intentionality and grade progression. The app allows students to apply their learning and go deep into coding, technology, and digital integration, developing computational thinking skills using a progression of coding. The SPIKE Portfolio is part of the LEGO Learning System's range of interconnected solutions that can be introduced individually or as a complete system, supplementing each other and unlocking unlimited learning opportunities. The app is not a standalone educational app and is used to program SPIKE Essential and SPIKE Prime, which are sold separately.

    Dear lego. Please fix the bug that causes the app to keep crashing. When i want to delete a project it crashes. When i have more than 1 project then i lose all my progress and then crashes. Please fix.

    Bluetooth Connectivity Non-Functional On iPad Pro

    The App works, however attempts to connect the Spike Hub to the App via Bluetooth results in a warning that the Hub needs to be updated - which can only be done via a Windows or Windows. Upon connecting the Spike Hub to a Windows PC running the latest version of the application, the Hub is updated. Disconnecting the Hub from the PC, and then reattempting to connect back to the iPad Pro via the App results in the same error message - Update the Hub. But the Hub is already updated! So basically - the portability offered by Bluetooth connectivity is dead... Until this is fixed, one-star and I do not recommend anyone procure this system until this is addressed.

    Initial connection issues sour the experience

    My enthusiasm for the Spike Prime platform was immediately dampened in the first steps of the "getting started" tutorial when the app would not connect to the hub via bluetooth. Searching online support suggested updating the hub's OS, which must be done via USB the first time. Computer had only USB-C ports, so I had to order an adapter to continue. OS update completed, but didn't fix the bluetooth problem. I was finally able to get it to connect wirelessly when I skipped the tutorial and created a new program. Once connected, I was able to go back and start the tutorials.

    Units keep deleting

    The 6 different units have to be re-downloaded ALL the time. It’s unbelievably frustrating when every time I want to get on the app with the kids and do an activity and find that all the units need to be downloaded again. It wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t take so long but they’re fairly large file sizes. Other than that it’s a great app and easy for the kids to use.
