Every IB school is weighing the same question: how do we help students truly understand AI and science, not merely use them? The IB places inquiry, conceptual understanding and real-world application at the heart of learning. Yet much of what passes for classroom technology stops at the surface, and hands-on science is too often squeezed out by screens.
Two new LEGO® Education kits answer this directly. Built on the same principles the IB is built on, students learning by building, testing, reflecting and collaborating, they sit naturally inside a PYP, MYP or DP classroom. As the Official LEGO® Education Reseller in India, RoboGenius is among the first to bring both to IB World Schools.
The question every IB school is asking
AI is already part of students’ lives. The gap is between those who consume it and those who understand it. For an inquiry-driven school, closing that gap is not an add-on; it is core to the mission. The same is true for science: real understanding comes from building, observing and testing, not from watching a screen.
The two kits give IB schools a concrete, curriculum-aligned way to build that understanding, at every grade band from K to 8.
Two new LEGO® Education kits, built for inquiry
LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI Kit
This K-8 kit moves students from simply using AI to understanding how it works, building and training simple AI with their own hands. Collaboration is central: students work in groups of four, using familiar LEGO® bricks, block-based coding and camera-based AI to turn abstract ideas into tangible discoveries.
- Genuine AI literacy: computer vision, classification and probabilistic thinking, so students become informed creators, not passive consumers.
- Safe and private by design: no student logins, no accounts, and all work stays on the device.
- Structured and complete: 90 inquiry-based lessons (30 per grade band), each fitting a normal class period, with a ready-to-teach Teacher Portal.
LEGO® Education Science Kit
The Science Kit is a fully screen-free, hands-on science solution for Grades K-8. Students build, test and observe real physical models, reaching genuine “aha” moments through inquiry, with no student devices required.
- 100% screen-free: pure, hands-on inquiry into forces, motion, energy and interactions.
- Built on enquiry: a proven 5-step enquiry model, with students collaborating in focused groups of four.
- Curriculum-aligned: 120 lessons (40 per grade band), each designed for a single class period.
How the kits map to the IB framework
The kits are not a bolt-on. They map, programme by programme, onto how the IB already teaches and assesses.
PYP: Primary Years Programme
At PYP level, learning happens through guided play, exploration and inquiry. Build-and-test activities give students a physical way to explore transdisciplinary themes, “How the World Works” through the Science Kit, “How We Organize Ourselves” through the CS & AI Kit. Students move naturally through Tuning In, Finding Out, Sorting Out and Going Further, and meet key concepts such as Form, Function and Connection directly in the bricks in front of them.
MYP: Middle Years Programme
At MYP level, the kits shift from exploration to structured problem-solving. They follow the MYP Design cycle, Inquiring and Analysing, Developing Ideas, Creating the Solution, Evaluating, and connect to Global Contexts such as “Scientific and Technical Innovation.” Because every project has a build, a test and a reflection stage, it naturally produces the evidence MYP Design and MYP Sciences criteria ask teachers to assess.
DP: Diploma Programme
At DP level, the kits give abstract concepts a hands-on anchor. AI and data-logic modules offer a concrete reference point for DP Computer Science; kit-based projects can seed Internal Assessment investigations; AI decision-making opens rich Theory of Knowledge discussions about how a machine “decides”; and mentoring or competition work can count toward CAS.
Approaches to Learning (ATL)
Across all three programmes, the kits consistently build the five ATL skill categories the IB tracks: thinking, research, communication, social and self-management skills, through pattern recognition, hypothesis testing, presenting a build, collaborating in teams, and managing multi-step projects.
Beyond the classroom: FIRST® LEGO® League
FIRST® LEGO® League, the global robotics and innovation competition, is returning to India. It gives IB students a direct, competitive pathway to apply what they learn in the CS & AI Kit, combining robotics with research and communication, and turning individual learning into a school-wide, internationally recognised programme.
Why IB schools choose RoboGenius
Genuine kits are only half the story; sustainable integration is the other half. RoboGenius delivers a turnkey programme, so IB schools get innovation without complexity:
- Authentic LEGO® Education kits and support, backed by an official reseller, with warranty and spare parts.
- Teacher enablement, structured training and a ready-to-teach portal, so staff aren’t left to figure out a new kit alone.
- Nearly two decades of hands-on STEM experience across 3,500+ schools.
- A low-risk rollout: start with a single grade or a pilot workshop before a full-school commitment.
For an IB World School, this is a visible point of difference, a genuine, inquiry-aligned AI and science provision that parents, boards and evaluation visits increasingly look for.

FAQs About The New LEGO® Education AI and Science Kits for IB World Schools
What are the new LEGO® Education kits for IB schools?
Two new hands-on solutions for Grades K to 8: the LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI Kit and the LEGO® Education Science Kit. As the Official LEGO® Education Reseller in India, RoboGenius is among the first to bring both to IB World Schools.
Which grade levels are the kits designed for?
Both kits are designed for Grades K to 8, across three grade bands (ages 5+, 8+ and 11+), so concepts deepen as students progress.
How does the LEGO® Education Computer Science & AI Kit support the IB?
It maps to the PYP through inquiry and guided play, to the MYP through the Design cycle and Global Contexts, and to the DP through Computer Science, Internal Assessment, Theory of Knowledge and CAS.
Is the Computer Science & AI Kit safe and private for students?
Yes. It is safe and private by design, with no student logins, no accounts, and all work staying on the device.
Does the Science Kit require screens or student devices?
No. The LEGO® Education Science Kit is fully screen-free. Students build, test and observe real physical models with no devices required.
How does the Science Kit support IB inquiry?
It uses a proven 5-step enquiry model and hands-on builds, giving students a physical way to explore transdisciplinary themes and the inquiry cycle the IB is built on.
How do the kits build ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills?
Across all three programmes they develop the five ATL categories, thinking, research, communication, social and self-management skills, through building, testing, presenting and collaborating
Can the kits be used for MYP Design, DP Computer Science or Internal Assessment?
Yes. Kit projects follow the MYP Design cycle, give a concrete reference point for DP Computer Science, and can seed Internal Assessment investigations in Computer Science or Design Technology.
