LEGO ® Education recommends investing in WeDo 2.0 due to the continued product growth in 2018 and beyond. I am considering purchasing WeDo 1.0 in 2017 – should I continue this purchase or invest in WeDo 2.0? WeDo 1.0 will continue to be a relevant classroom experience for many years and will be supported under existing warrantees. However, please know you have made a very good investment in WeDo 1.0. LEGO ® Education does not have a trade-in program. Can I trade it in for WeDo 2.0 and pay the difference in cost? I just bought a whole classroom set of WeDo 1. No, WeDo 1.0 is not backward compatible with WeDo 2.0. Will WeDo 1.0 continue to be compatible with WeDo 2.0? WeDo 2.0 is an investment for the future with continued product growth and you will receive a better and fuller experience with updated support and continued enhancements. We will not develop any new components, experiences, curriculum or content for the WeDo 1.0 platform. We do not encourage new purchases of WeDo 1.0 sets since replacement parts will eventually run out of stock. Contact your local distributor for more details.

However, special conditions or prices by region may vary. LEGO ® Education has no plans to lower the price of WeDo 1.0 as we phase out this product as of December 31, 2017. Will the price of the current WeDo 1.0 be lowered as it gets closer to the end of 2017? LEGO Education will no longer promote, sell, or gain new users of WeDo 1.0 as of December 31, 2017. Once the replacement supply is exhausted, there will be no more WeDo 1.0 replacement support.

However, WeDo 1.0 will no longer be manufactured in 2018 and our replacement supply will not be replenished. As long as LEGO Education has WeDo 1.0 replacement parts in stock, we can continue to supply solutions to faulty equipment. Anything without a warranty beyond 2017, we cannot guarantee a replacement.

LEGO ® Education will honor any warranty that is still valid after 2017 for replacement parts. Will LEGO Education stop supporting WeDo 1.0 by the end of 2017? However, local distributors will sell WeDo 1.0 as long as stocks last and LEGO Education will continue to provide support through our customer service and tech support teams for an additional 2 years. No, LEGO ® Education WeDo 1.0 will not be available from LEGO Education after December 31, 2017. Will WeDo 1.0 still be available beyond 2017?
