  "name": "LEGO Education SPIKE Prime & MINDSTORMS",
  "description": "LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and LEGO MINDSTORMS are distinct but complementary product lines from LEGO Education, designed to engage students in hands-on STEM learning through robotics, coding, and computational thinking. SPIKE Prime is geared towards middle school students, integrating a programmable Hub, sensors, motors, and LEGO building elements with a Scratch-based coding language. MINDSTORMS (specifically Robot Inventor) is for older students and hobbyists, offering more advanced programming and building capabilities.",
