Yesterday, our new LEGO Spike set finally arrived—yay! We couldn’t wait to try it, so my dad and I decided to build the first project: The Boat Trip. It’s all about these two little LEGO characters who are super excited to go on a boat ride! But there was a problem… what would push their boat into the pretend water?
One of the characters had an idea—let’s build a boat-pushing machine! So my dad and I got to work. First, we used the LEGO battery hub and connected it to a spinny thing (Yue: that’s called Motor). We added some special code blocks to make the spinny thing push the boat into the pretend water. It worked! The boat went right in—splash!
But we didn’t stop there! I thought, why not make it even more fun? The boat had holes in it, so we put the boat on a connector piece and used more code to make it spin like a theme park ride. The characters were spinning around!
Seeing the characters whirl around was so exciting! We did it together, and it felt like a real success. I can’t wait to try even more ideas with our LEGO Spike set.
