Connect Raspberry Pi computing power with LEGO® Technic™ motors and sensors

The Raspberry Pi Build HAT fits any Raspberry Pi with a 40-pin GPIO header and lets you control up to four LEGO® Technic™ motors and sensors from the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Portfolio, a flexible system with unlimited possibilities.

Build robust, intelligent machines that combine Raspberry Pi computing power with LEGO components.

Projects that make sense

The LEGO Education SPIKE Portfolio features a wide variety of sensors and motors that you can control with the Build HAT Python library on your Raspberry Pi. Explore the world around you with sensors to detect distance, force, and colour, and choose from a variety of motor sizes to suit any build. The Build HAT also supports motors and sensors from the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Robot Inventor kit, as well as most other LEGO devices that use an LPF2 connector.
