Start with Unit 1. Add Units 2 and 3 when you are ready.
Unit 1 includes the programmable Hub and building tools. Units 2 and 3 expand the learning pathway with more bits, more behaviours and more open invention projects.
Buy Unit 1 first.
Then choose the expansion path that fits your class: Unit 2 for movement and interaction, Unit 3 for open invention projects, or the complete pathway for the full rollout.
Every classroom starts with Unit 1.
Unit 1 is the required starter. After that, add Unit 2, Unit 3, or both.
Buy Unit 1
The required starter bundle. It includes the programmable Hub, building tools and the first classroom lessons.
Start with Unit 1 →Add Unit 2
For classes that already have Unit 1 and are ready for movement, sensing and more interactive inventions.
Add Unit 2 →Add Unit 3
Best after Units 1 and 2. Unit 3 gives students more freedom to identify problems and build original inventions.
Add Unit 3 →Choose the complete pathway
Best when your school wants Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 3 together in one clear purchase.

The bundle every class needs first.
Unit 1 is the foundation purchase. It gives students the programmable Hub, building tools and first learning sequence they need to start coding real inventions.
Add Unit 2 after Unit 1 for movement and interaction.
Unit 2 is an expansion, not an alternative starter. It builds on Unit 1 with movement, sensing, dial control and guided engineering projects.
Add Unit 3 when students are ready for open invention projects.
Unit 3 is best after Units 1 and 2. It gives students more freedom to identify problems, design solutions, build prototypes and present original inventions.
The easiest full rollout option.
Choose the complete classroom pathway when your school wants Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 3 together in one clear purchase.
