Lego Spike Prime Coding Basics

This video tutorial guides users through basic movements using the Lego Spike Prime robotics kit. It covers the necessary materials, setting up the project in the Lego Education Spike app, connecting the robot to a computer, and coding the robot to move forward and backward. The tutorial uses word blocks similar to the Scratch interface and provides step-by-step instructions for setting movement motors, speed, and direction. The video concludes with a demonstration of the robot moving forward and backward, encouraging users to experiment with different movement options.
