Video: Lego Robots Scoot into Classrooms and Teach Kids How to Code

During his State of the Union address, President Obama said one of his goals for the future is to "help students learn to write computer code." Lego has developed its own fun way to do just that. 

Lego Elementary WeDo 2.0 kits come with a smart hub (featuring a battery, processor and Bluetooth), motor and a two sensors.

Through an app, users learn icon-based programming and configure these components in different ways. So, with a few taps, kids can tell a Lego rover they built to follow a specific path, play a song and send an email.
