4 LEGO Education January 2026 Sets Officially Revealed

One of the core values of the LEGO Group and the LEGO brick is inspiring the next generation through play. LEGO have many initiatives amongst their regular portfolio and creative and inspiring models to encourage play and development amongst younger minds. One of these includes the LEGO Education theme, which is launching four innovative STEM sets, all available from today (the 20th of January 2026).

LEGO Education has been bringing LEGO-based creative classes to schools for many years, so it isn't a brand-new product line. However, until now, LEGO Education-branded sets have never been available to the general public to buy and build at home. The LEGO Group have made this move to further inspire curiosity, exploration and scientific discovery at home as well as with friends at school and other educational institutes.

The four brick-built models have been developed in collaboration with educators and are inspired by real-world challenges. Core STEM passion points, including space, animals and nature, are all brought to life in brick-built LEGO form. The sets encourage children to ask the big 'why?' questions at an affordable price range, with the two most expensive sets retailing for just $99.99 / €99.99 / £89.99.

45200 Moon Mission Science Kit

The first LEGO Education set readily available takes builders to the moon with 45200 Moon Mission Science Kit. 519 pieces are included to create a spaceship, an Earth-to-moon launchpad, a moon habitat section, multiple greenhouses and much more.
