The LEGO® Education Controller is a versatile, wireless input device designed to bring interactive control to student-built models using LEGO® Education Science Kits. With two levers and a compact, ergonomic design, this controller does far more than direct movement—it can also function as an embedded sensor when built into a model. Its dual functionality supports a wide range of hands-on activities in science, engineering, and systems learning.
Engineered for ease of use, the controller pairs effortlessly with motors and other components via a connection card, removing the need for wires, screens, or coding. Ideal for group-based learning, it encourages collaboration, experimentation, and critical thinking by allowing students to manipulate and observe the real-time behaviour of their creations.
Why This Product Is Helpful:
Adds interactivity by allowing students to control and adjust model movement in real time
Dual-purpose design—can be used as a traditional controller or embedded as a sensor
Supports hands-on learning in force, systems, and mechanical topics
Pairs easily via connection cards—no programming or devices required
Ideal for classroom collaboration and trial-and-error experimentation
Things to Consider When Buying a LEGO® Education Wireless Controller:
Intended Application in the Lesson Ideal for activities where students test, adjust, and control models—especially those exploring mechanical systems or automated responses.
Multi-Use Capability Acts both as a controller and a built-in sensor depending on the build—choose this if you want flexible component use in the classroom.
Classroom Quantity Needs One controller per group may not be enough if multiple builds require simultaneous manual input; consider multiple units for group rotations.
Charging and Runtime Offers a substantial battery life that supports multiple lessons per charge—best used with the LEGO® Multi-charger for ease of classroom charging cycles.
Student Skill Level Easy enough for primary learners but rich in functionality for deeper exploration by upper primary and lower secondary students.
