“When using the Green City Challenge, students strengthen problem-solving skills and learn the value of teamwork. The colorful layout keeps students engaged while they are presented with a variety of challenges that they achieve through the use of sensors and their programming knowledge. The training mats enable students to refine their skills, while the challenge mat requires them to apply their knowledge to solve rigorous missions. Adolescents are so motivated by Green City that they even begin to work before the bell rings! ”

The Green City Challenge Combo Pack includes both the Green City Challenge Set and Activity Pack and is ideal as a step-by-step introduction to robotics in the classroom or as preparation for robotics competitions. The Green City Challenge Set contains three training mats, a challenge mat, and more than 1,300 elements for building the challenge models, such as a power plant, wind turbine, and dam. The training mats provide a field where students can test and practice their programming skills. The challenge mat offers a real-life setting for solving different missions so students can apply the skills acquired through the training.

The Green City Challenge Activity Pack includes seven easy-to-follow training activities, each supported by student worksheets, which guide the students from simple to more advanced programming. Students are then challenged to apply their programming and problem-solving skills by making their robots solve real-world engineering challenges related to renewable energy. Comprehensive teacher notes provide everything needed for easy implementation, including programming examples, building instructions, mission and rules, extension ideas, and more. Also includes a project that can be used for further research into the challenge topic of renewable energy.

The Green City Challenge Set and Activity Pack were designed for use with the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education NXT Base Set and Software (sold separately).
