I-LEGO Education iqinisekisile ukuba iyalurhoxisa lonke uluhlu lwe-SPIKE. Le nkampani yazisa ngale ndaba ngoJanuwari 2026, kwaye ifika nomhla oqinileyo wokugqibela: ukuthengiswa okutsha kuphela nge-30 kaJuni 2026. Ukuba isikolo sakho sakha inkqubo yaso yeerobhotiki ngeSPIKE Essential okanye ngeSPIKE Prime, akukho nto yaphuka ngobusuku obunye, kodwa iwotshi seyiqalile. Le yingxaki yocwangciso, ayisiyo imeko yongxamiseko.

Yintoni ngokwenene ebhengezwe yi-LEGO

Ususa ingxolo, isibhengezo sisala siziintsuku ezimbalwa nesigqibo esinye ngemveliso. Nantsi into eqinisekisiweyo:

• Lonke uluhlu lweemveliso ze-SPIKE luyarhoxiswa, ukuthengiswa kuphela nge-30 kaJuni 2026.
• Usetyenziso lwe-EV3 oludala lufikelela ekupheleni kwenkxaso nge-31 kaJulayi 2026.
• Amaqela akwi-FIRST LEGO League (FLL) angaqhubeka esebenzisa i-SPIKE ukuya kutsho kwisizini yowama-2027-28.
• Elandelayo yikhithi entsha ye-Computer Science ne-AI, eqala ku-$339.95.

Oku akumangalisi nabani na obebukele ukuhamba kweMindstorms. I-LEGO yawupheza umgca wayo weMindstorms wabathengi malunga neminyaka emine eyadlulayo, kwaye i-SPIKE yayiliqonga lemfundo elathwala isikhuni. Ukuyirhoxisa kuvala isahluko esaqala ngesitena se-RCX kwiminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabini eyadlulayo. I-LEGO ipapashe iinkcukacha ezipheleleyo nemihla kwiphepha layo elisemthethweni lohlaziyo lwe-SPIKE.

Kutheni oku kubalulekile ukuba isikolo sakho sisebenzisa i-SPIKE

Inkxalabo ephathekayo asikokuba iikhithi zakho ziza kuyeka ukusebenza nge-1 kaJulayi 2026. Izitena, iimoto neenzwa ziya kuqhubeka zisenza kanye into ebezisenza yona ngemini engaphambili. Iingxaki zokwenene zicotha kwaye zithe cwaka.

Iinxalenye zokutshintsha ziya kuba nzima ukuzifumana. Isethi yeklasi ephulukana neenzwa zombala ezimbalwa okanye neemoto ezinkulu qho ngekota ixhomekeke ekufumaneni okuzinzileyo kwezinto zokutshintsha. Xa ukuthengiswa okusemthethweni sekuphelile, uza kube utsala kwisitokhwe esiya sincipha, kwaye amaxabiso kwimarike yezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo adla ngokunyuka. Inkxaso yesoftwe nayo ibalulekile: uhlaziyo lwe-app, ukulungiswa kwe-firmware nokuhambelana neenkqubo ezintsha zokusebenza kudla ngokuyeka xa imveliso irhoxisiwe, ngoko ukuhlaziywa okuqhelekileyo kwethablethi okanye kwelaptop esikolweni kunokushiya ikhithi esebenzayo ingasenamsebenzi ngokuzolileyo.

Emva koko kukho ikharityhulam. Ukuba izifundo zakho, amaphepha-msebenzi neerubriki zohlolo zibhalwe ngokusekelwe kwiibhloko ze-SPIKE, oko limele ixesha lokwenene lootitshala. Amaqela okhuphiswano anethuba lawo: inkxaso ye-FLL ukuya kowama-2027-28 ikunika malunga nezizini ezimbini ezongezelelweyo zokusebenzisa ngokusemthethweni, into elubabalo xa ithelekiswa nomhla wokuphela kokuthengiswa.

Into omawuyenze phambi kukaJuni 2026

Izikolo zaseMzantsi Afrika zivula unyaka omtsha kanye ngoku, ngoko eli lithuba elilungileyo lokufaka ucwangciso lwe-SPIKE kuhlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lwakho lonyaka kunokuba uphaphazele emva kwexesha. Sebenza kolu luhlu:

1. Hlola into onayo. Bala iikhithi zakho uze uphawule ukuba zeziphi iinxalenye esele zilahleka rhoqo. Iinzwa ezincinci nee-axle zidla ngokuba phezulu kolo luhlu.
2. Thenga izinto zokutshintsha phambi kwe-30 kaJuni 2026. Bekela bucala malunga ne-10 ukuya kwi-15 ekhulwini yexabiso lekhithi yakho kwiimoto, iinzwa nee-hub zokutshintsha ngelixa zisesezishelufini.
3. Gcina ikopi yesoftwe yakho. Gcina ii-installer, iifayile zeprojekthi nazo naziphi na iibhloko ozenzeleyo kwikhompyutha yakho, uze umilise umfanekiso wethablethi okanye welaptop esebenzisa i-SPIKE ngoku.
4. Zoba ithuba lakho lokhuphiswano. Ukuba uqhuba i-FLL, cwangcisa ujonge umhla wokugqibela wowama-2027-28 uze ugqibe ukuba inyathelo elilandelayo liqonga elitsha na okanye kukunyukela kwi-FIRST Tech Challenge.
5. Yima okwethutyana ngokuthenga okutsha okukhulu. Musa ukuthenga iisethi ezintsha zeklasi ze-SPIKE ngoku. Loo mali yibekele naliphi na iqonga oza kulisebenzisa ngowama-2027 nangaphaya.

Ukulinganisa iqonga lakho elilandelayo

Ayikho impendulo enye elungileyo, kwaye ukhetho lokwenene luxhomekeke kuhlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lwakho, kootitshala bakho nakwinto yokuba uyakhuphisana na. Zintathu iindlela ezibanzi ezifanele ukuthelekiswa:

Indlela	Ilungele bani	Into omawuyilumkele
Hlala kwi-SPIKE okwangoku	Izikolo ezinesethi enkulu esele ikhona namaqela e-FLL asebenzayo	Izinto zokutshintsha eziya zinqongophala nokungabikho kwenkxaso entsha yesoftwe
Yiya kwikhithi ye-Computer Science ne-AI ye-LEGO	Izikolo ezizinikele kwinkqubo ye-LEGO	Ixabiso eliphezulu ukusuka ku-$339.95 nekharityhulam entsha emawuyifunde
Yiya kwiqonga elivulekileyo, elibeka ikhowudi phambili	Izikolo ezifuna iindleko eziphantsi ngesihlalo nendlela eya ekubhaleni ikhowudi ngombhalo	Umsebenzi omninzi wokuseta ekuqaleni nokuhambelana okuncinci nezitena

Ukuba iindleko eziphantsi zokuqhuba nendlela egudileyo ukusuka kwiibhloko ukuya kwiPython yokwenene zibalulekile kuwe, iqonga elisekelwe kwi-microcontroller lifanele ukujongwa. Eyethu ibhodi ye-sheenbot∞ ikolo didi, kwaye xa kufikwa ekufumaneni iikhithi okanye izinto zokutshintsha kwiibhrendi ezahlukeneyo ngaphandle kokusukela iikoutheshini ezingapheliyo, inkxaso yokufumana izinto zelebhu inokuthwala inxalenye enkulu yaloo mthwalo.

Isishwankathelo

I-SPIKE ayifi ngomzuzu ophela ngawo ukuthengiswa. Liqonga elivuthiweyo elikwinkqubo ecacileyo yokupheliswa, kwaye oko kukunika ifestile endaweni yeliwa. Hlola iikhithi zakho, thenga izinto zokutshintsha oza kuzidinga, khusela isoftwe yakho, uze usebenzise ithuba le-FLL ukuya kowama-2027-28 ukukhetha elandelayo ngokuzolileyo kunokuba ukhethe uxinzelelekile. Ukuba ootitshala bakho bafuna uncedo lokwakha kwakhona izifundo zayo nantoni na elandelayo, iiworkshop zootitshala ezicwangcisiweyo yindlela ekhawulezayo kunokuqala kwiphepha elingenanto. Ukuphela kwexesha kuyingxaki kuphela ukuba kukufumana ungalungiselelanga.

Imibuzo eqhelekileyo

Ngaba sisenako ukusebenzisa i-SPIKE emva kukaJuni 2026?

Ewe. Umhla wama-30 kaJuni 2026 uphelisa ukuthengiswa okutsha, hayi ilungelo lakho lokusebenzisa iikhithi osele unazo. Ziyaqhubeka zisebenza. Awukwazi nje ukuthenga ezinye ngeendlela ezisemthethweni, kwaye inkxaso yesoftwe iyancipha ngokuhamba kwexesha.

Ngaba amaqela e-FLL kufuneka atshintshe ngoko nangoko?

Hayi. I-FLL ivumela i-SPIKE ukuya kutsho kwisizini yowama-2027-28, ngoko uninzi lwamaqela luneminyaka emibini engaphezulu yokhuphiswano yokucwangcisa utshintsho.

Ngaba ikhithi entsha ye-Computer Science ne-AI ingena esikhundleni se-SPIKE nje ngokulula?

Hayi ncam. Iqala ku-$339.95 kwaye iza nekharityhulam yayo, ngoko bekela bucala imali yezixhobo kunye nexesha lootitshala lokuyifunda.
