In the context of LEGO, a “hub” refers to a programmable control unit integral to various LEGO robotics and educational sets,

Hubs exist within the LEGO Technic and SPIKE systems. Here are the key features and types of LEGO hubs:

Uses of LEGO Hubs

LEGO hubs serve as the central component in robotic builds, allowing users to:

  • Program behaviours and actions using compatible software applications.
  • Connect various sensors (like distance or colour sensors) and motors to create interactive models.
  • Enable wireless communication with devices, enhancing the versatility of projects.

Educational use

These hubs are designed to facilitate hands-on STEAM learning experiences such as the First LEGO League. They enable students to engage in coding, electronics, and robotics through intuitive interfaces and programming environments like Scratch or Python.
