LEGO® Education Colour Sensor
The LEGO® Education Colour Sensor is a compact, high-performance sensing component designed to enhance interactivity and data-driven exploration within LEGO® Education Science Kits. With its ability to detect and respond to different colours, this sensor introduces students to foundational concepts in automation, sorting systems, environmental detection, and more.
Fully wireless and powered through a USB-C connection, the Colour Sensor pairs seamlessly with other tech elements using a connection card-removing the need for screens, coding, or cables. Its precision and versatility make it an excellent tool for bringing STEM learning to life in upper primary and lower secondary classrooms, encouraging students to build intelligent systems that react to real-world inputs.
Why This Product Is Helpful:
- Enables real-time colour detection, allowing models to respond to visual input
- Supports lessons in automation, such as sorting, triggering movement, or detecting environmental changes
- Encourages scientific thinking, including data collection, analysis, and cause-effect reasoning
- Simple to use-pairs with motors and controllers via connection cards, no coding required
- Compact and robust, ideal for embedding into student-designed models
Things to Consider When Buying a LEGO® Education Colour Sensor:
- Suitability for Learning Outcomes: Ideal for projects requiring environmental interaction, such as sorting by colour, detecting signal patterns, or simulating automated machines.
- Classroom Integration: Best used in conjunction with other LEGO® Education components like motors and controllers; supports full model interactivity in Grades 3-8.
- Student Use and Build Design: Compact size makes it suitable for embedding in student-built models. Encourages students to consider sensor placement and model design for accurate detection.
- Battery Management: Offers up to 90 minutes of continuous use and is rechargeable using the LEGO® Education Multi-charger-ideal for classrooms with multiple rotations.
- Quantity Planning: Depending on the number of builds requiring sensory input, you may need multiple sensors to allow each group to experiment independently.
