LEGO® Education SPIKE™ App 3 coming in December

Tomorrow, December 1, 2022, LEGO® Education SPIKE™ App 3 will launch, bringing faster connections to the Hub and increased modeling predictability for more effective iterations and testing, among other features.

After the launch of SPIKE App 3, SPIKE App 2 will prompt you to download SPIKE App 3. The web app will automatically upgrade to SPIKE App 3 on launch day and you will be prompted to update your firmware to ensure compatibility. The firmware must be coherent with the app version to be compatible.
