The LEGO ® Education Controller is a versatile, wireless input device designed to bring interactive control to student-built models using LEGO ® Education Science Kits. With two levers and a compact, ergonomic design, this controller does far more than direct movement-it can also function as an embedded sensor when built into a model. Its dual functionality supports a wide range of hands-on activities in science, engineering, and systems learning.:Engineered for ease of use, the controller pairs effortlessly with motors and other components via a connection card, removing the need for wires, screens, or coding. Ideal for group-based learning, it encourages collaboration, experimentation, and critical thinking by allowing students to manipulate and observe the real-time behaviour of their creations.::Why This Product Is Helpful:: Adds interactivity by allowing students to control and adjust model movement in real time: Dual-purpose design-can be used as a traditional controller or embedded as a sensor: Supports hands-on learning in force, systems, and mechanical topics: Pairs easily via connection cards-no programming or devices required: Ideal for classroom collaboration and trial-and-error experimentation: :Things to Consider When Buying a LEGO ® Education Wireless Controller:: Intended Application in the Lesson Ideal for activities where students test, adjust, and control models-especially those exploring mechanical systems or automated responses.: Multi-Use Capability Acts both as a controller and a built-in sensor depending on the build-choose this if you want flexible component use in the classroom.: Classroom Quantity Needs One controller per group may not be enough if multiple builds require simultaneous manual input; consider multiple units for group rotations.: Charging and Runtime Offers a substantial battery life that supports multiple lessons per charge-best used with the LEGO ® Multi-charger for ease of classroom charging cycles.: Student Skill Level Easy enough for primary learners but rich in functionality for deeper exploration by upper primary and lower secondary students.: :Product Specifications:: Dual-lever input device for LEGO ® Education Science Kits: Functions as both a controller and embedded sensor: Wireless design-no cables, coding, or screens needed: Pairs with other tech components using connection cards: Approximate run-time: up to 90 minutes on full charge: Approximate recharge time: 30 minutes using the LEGO ® Education Multi-charger:
