Green City (Set 9594)

I was exploring the awesome LEGO Education website again and I found this. It looks very interesting, a great way to get students introduced to LEGO Mindstorms:


"New to the LEGO® Education robotics program is the Green City Challenge Set and Activity Pack for LEGO MINDSTORMS® Education. 


The new set and activity pack center on the theme renewable energy and are ideal as a classroom beginner package or in-class competition set. 


Students are introduced to the world of robotics by first exploring basic programming maneuvers utilizing three training mats. 


Each training activity focuses on one of four main LEGO sensors - light, ultrasonic, touch, and sound - and enables students to explore and enhance their programming and sensor knowledge. 


When students have completed the training phase and are confident in their robotic building and programming skills, they are presented with the Green City Challenge. 


The challenge consists of a number of missions simulating real-life challenges, each environmentally focused and conducted on the Green City Challenge mat. 


These innovative Green City Challenge missions replicate the excitement of FIRST® LEGO League, integrating this engagement into the classroom in the form of a step-by-step introduction to LEGO MINDSTORMS Education. 


As students complete each mission, they are awarded an energy brick. When all missions are complete, students use their collected energy bricks to power the Green City."
