I help parents give their curious kids real problem-solving skills and computational thinking through story and game-based robotics challenges so engaging they don't feel like homework
Here you will find tutorials to build and program LEGO robots with LEGO Education products (LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, LEGO SPIKE, LEGO WeDo 2.0), LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor and LEGO BOOST.
I'm Danny, robotics engineer and teacher, with 17+ years of experience in the field of educational robotics.
I designed 400+ custom educational LEGO models on commission for STEM learning companies, camps, teachers all over the world.

From today, you can get the building and programming instructions for my LEGO SPIKE Essential Rubik's Cube Solver Robot as a Gift with Purchase of my SPIKE Essential Library Membership.
WARNING: This is an advanced project, that requires flashing a custom firmware with Pybricks, so I can't provide personalized support if you don't know what you're doing. Also, prepare to tweak the model to fit your own smartphone.

I'm preparing a 3D building instruction viewer tool to save my Spider Tank from oblivion. Prepare for something cool.

I just posted a new video tutorial on how to flash the SPIKE Prime firmware onto the Inventor Hub and the other way around. This way, you could also use the MINDSTORMS App's built-in Machine Learning and AI features (image classification and sound classification). Want to see a demo? Comment below!

I opened the app, and this popup appeared
The LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Robot Inventor App will be discontinued on June 1, 2026, with no further updates or support. Resources on LEGO.com will guide you in transitioning your play experience to the LEGO® Education SPIKETM Prime App. Note: A full 1:1 experience or firmware replacement cannot be guaranteed.
Let me work on that... Stay tuned!

I’ve just added new SPIKE Essential Hero Models to the library of my Academy.
I’ll publish a demo video soon, but they’re already available.
MRI Machine Model: A story-first model that helps children understand what an MRI scan really is, turning fear into knowledge through playful exploration.
Chameleon: A playful way to explore biomimicry, discovering how chameleons adapt to their environment.
Exploration Submarine: A deep-sea mission that introduces underwater exploration.
These new models are already available inside the SPIKE Essential Hero Models Library for all current members.
If you’re not a member yet, you can get access below.
A Home License is available for families and homeschoolers:

Many thanks to the LEGO forensic experts who devote so much of their valuable time to investigations of this nature.
It has been noted that the wheel folding mechanism I developed independently bears similarities to a design by another designer on Rebrickable.
For this reason, the instructions will not be published and will remain available as a gift exclusively to members of my Robotics Academy.

Bye, Investigators. Keep playing well.
