An independent, web-based coding studio designed specifically for school Chromebooks, laptops, and tablets. Connect your SmartHubs directly over Web Bluetooth with zero software installation and 100% student privacy.
Schools around the world invested heavily in LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 sets. When official legacy software reached end-of-life, thousands of functional robotics kits were left unusable on modern school Chromebooks and operating systems.
Differentiate instruction effortlessly across grade bands. Students can switch between visual icon tiles and Scratch-compatible text blocks at any time with a single click.
A 100% reading-free, visual ribbon interface inspired by the classic WeDo 2.0 software. Perfect for early childhood and emerging readers.
Standard Scratch 3.0-style vertical snap blocks for intermediate learners advancing to computer science fundamentals and algorithms.
if / elseEverything you need to run complete STEM robotics curricula, student challenges, and open-ended engineering builds.
Pairs directly to the WeDo 2.0 SmartHub. Automatic port detection for Port 1, Port 2, and real-time battery level monitoring.
Turn clockwise or counter-clockwise, run for timed durations, adjust speed from 1% to 100% with hardware-calibrated starting torque, or stop instantly.
Supports 4 calibrated classroom distance ranges (<5cm, 5–10cm, 10–15cm, >15cm), relative object motion triggers (closer/away), and numerical distance reporters.
Detects 5 spatial hub angles: straight (forward), back (down), left tilt, right tilt, and flat/level orientation with real-time feedback.
Illuminate the SmartHub's LED in 10 vibrant colors. Play 8 synthesized sound effects (fanfare, laser, pop, chimes, animal sounds) through device speakers.
Built-in virtual robot simulator and digital canvas. Students can test their logic even before connecting physical bricks or when working remotely.
Engineered specifically for school compliance (COPPA, FERPA, GDPR).
Students never create an account, log in, or enter personal information. No passwords to remember or reset.
All code execution and Bluetooth communication happen locally on the student's device. No telemetry, no tracking cookies, and zero student data collection.
Students can save their code locally as standard .wedo project files or back them up directly to their school Google Drive.
Get your entire classroom up and coding in less than 2 minutes:
On student Chromebooks, laptops, or tablets, navigate to the studio in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
Press the green button on the WeDo 2.0 SmartHub. The hub LED will begin blinking blue, indicating it is ready to pair.
Click the WeDo Hub button in the top toolbar, select your hub from the browser popup, and start building!

Yes! To make pairing easy, have students turn on their SmartHub one at a time when connecting. Once paired, the Bluetooth connection is locked to that specific Chromebook and will not cross-talk with adjacent robots.
Once the web page is loaded, all block execution and Bluetooth communication run locally on the machine. As long as the browser tab remains open, students can code without an active internet connection.
Students can click the 💾 Save button in the top toolbar at any time to download their project file (.wedo), which can be uploaded to Google Classroom, saved to Google Drive, or stored locally.
Yes. This tool is free for public schools, private schools, libraries, clubs, and home educators worldwide to foster hands-on STEM education and sustainable reuse of educational robotics hardware.
