New Cycles of Dr. E’s Challenges Are Here

Dr. E’s WeDo Challenges and Dr. E’s MINDSTORMS Challenges encourage students from around the world to solve open-ended LEGO robotics challenges and post their solutions for other students to see.

Dr. E’s MINDSTORMS Challenges

Here are the upcoming MINDSTORMS Challenges for this cycle.

March: Creepy Crawly
Make a MINDSTORMS creepy crawly—a worm, a bug, a spider, or any creepy-crawly creature.

April: Money Matters
 Make a MINDSTORMS device to help manage money. E.g. a piggy bank with an alarm, a coin sorter, a money counter.

May: Human Plus
Create a device to improve human capabilities—an arm that can reach high shelves, eyes that can see infrared in addition to visible light—or whatever improvement you can imagine.

Dr. E’s WeDo Challenges

Here are the upcoming WeDo Challenges for this cycle.
