This is a tutorial for all users of Spike Prime. After using Lego Spike Prime since it was released in 2020, in over 100 workshops, in this video I reveal all the important things I have learnt! Tips, tricks, solutions to problems are all included. Aimed at educators, (but handy for everyone). I cover all the important things I have learned, including:
How to organise your equipment
Constructing robots with your kits
Device trouble-shooting (Tablet/Computer problems solved)
Coding Advice
Solving Problems with your actual Spike Prime Lego
Teaching tips
...and more!

I have broken my reflections into sections outlined in the chapters below. After watching this video, you will be way more confident and competent in your use of Lego Spike Prime, especially if you are a beginner, but really anyone who uses Spike Prime should benefit.
