LEGO® Technic™ Distance Sensor

The LEGO® Technic™ Distance Sensor is designed to accurately detect the distance of nearby objects, enabling models to intelligently navigate and avoid obstacles.

It is well-suited for both classroom use (Grades 6–8) and home learning environments, enhancing education by introducing students to key concepts such as:

• Sensors and how they work
• Data collection and interpretation
• Responsive and interactive programming

Teachers can integrate the sensor into lesson plans to demonstrate essential engineering principles, while parents can use it to support creativity and STEAM-based learning through engaging hands-on activities.

Overall, the LEGO® Technic™ Distance Sensor serves as a valuable tool for encouraging innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking in young learners.

Key highlights include:

• Sound wave sensing with a 1–200 cm detection range and ±1 cm accuracy for reliable measurements
• Programmable LED “eyes” that bring builds to life
• Integrated, industry-standard interface supporting third-party sensors, boards, and DIY hardware
• Compact, easy-to-use design for quick building and rebuilding

Compatibility:

• SPIKE™ Prime Set
• SPIKE™ Essential Set
