The LEGO WeDo 2.0 Core software is impressively easy to use with a bright, colourful interface. LEGO WeDo 2.0 allows children to research, explore, create, collaborate, share and present their scientific discoveries as they work their way through the 40 hours of exciting, varied and engaging projects relevant to real life The basic package comes with 280 building elements, a Bluetooth Low Energy-based hub which connects to a motor, as well as motion and tilt sensors. It was seen as a result of the study that attitudes, academic achievements and computational thinking skills of the experimental group students, who received robotic-assisted science education, toward science course differed significantly compared to the students in the control group.WeDo 2.0 from LEGO Education is a fantastic new learning tool designed to introduce children to robotics, engineering, programming and general STEM teaching through a robot-based learning system. The application was continued for eleven weeks and the obtained quantitative data were evaluated at the significance level of 0.05 with SPSS packaged software. While the activities in the experimental group were carried out with LEGO WeDo 2.0 Robotic Education Set, the same activities in the control group were implemented using the traditional direct instruction technique as in the curriculum. As data collection tool, "Science Course Academic Achievement Test", "Science Course Attitude Scale", and "Computational Thinking Scale" were used in the study. The study model was the "pretest-posttest control group design" of the experimental method. The study was conducted with 5th grade students (N=36) in a private school in Elazig in the 2017-2018 school year. In this study, the effect of LEGO WeDo 2.0 robotics education on academic achievement, attitude and computational thinking skills of the learners toward science was examined. While gaining 21st century skills, conducting interdisciplinary studies is becoming importance and increasing the efficiency. The acquisition of these skills to individuals is not sufficient with traditional education and difficulties are experienced in adapting to the age.
Today, the essential skills and characteristics of individuals change within the frame of changing needs.
