One of the older versions of Scratch had support for Lego WeDo. Does Scratch 2.0 have support for Lego WeDo? Would love to introduce it to my kids!

- craigching 12y agoWell, I originally asked this question because awhile back the Scratch WeDo site said they didn't have support for 2.0 yet, but I just looked here [1] and found this: > In Scratch 2.0, you can add a LEGO WeDo extension within the "More Blocks" category. Click "Add an Extension" and choose "LEGO WeDo." So, awesome! [1] -- http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/LEGO_WeDo_Construction_Set http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/LEGO_WeDo_Construction_Set
- programmarchy 12y agoYes, Scratch 2 does support Lego WeDo. To enable support, shift + click "More Blocks" and the "Add an Extension" button will appear. From there you can select the LEGO WeDo extension. [1] If your kids are into robotics, you may also be interested in MOSS - a modular robotic construction kit [2]. MOSS also supports Scratch programming, and in fact we are releasing our extension to the public this week (I'm the lead programmer on the project.), which we'll be announcing very soon. We've been experimenting with Scratch in classrooms here in Boulder, CO, and we're amazed at how fast kids pick up programming concepts with Scratch!
