Description
Curriculum

The LEGO Education Coding Express Set is an engaging, hands-on solution that introduces early coding concepts to young learners in a playful and meaningful way. Specially designed for toddlers and preschoolers, this set uses a familiar train theme to explore digital thinking through physical play. As children guide the train along its track, they interact with action bricks that trigger specific behaviours, sparking their understanding of fundamental coding concepts like sequencing, looping, and conditional logic. Through experimentation, collaboration, and storytelling, children build problem-solving and critical thinking skills while also developing social and emotional awareness.

The optional, child-led Coding Express app further enhances learning by offering four themed areas—Journeys, Characters, Music, and Maths—that support a range of developmental domains. Each theme changes how the action bricks influence the train, offering open-ended experiences that nurture exploration and creativity. LEGO DUPLO bricks included in the set are specifically designed for small hands, ensuring safe, durable, and tactile learning experiences. As with all LEGO Education resources, this set supports curriculum integration and provides educators with tools to guide meaningful, playful learning.
