Abstract—The LEGOstics training programs are continuously developed in Szabó-Szoba R&D Laboratory at Széchenyi University Győr, Hungary. The main purpose of these innovative simulation projects is to construct special real-life environments for modelling logistics systems and phenomena (the nature of product and information flow in a supply chain, the meaning of delivery in time shipments, material handling and order picking processes of a warehouse or a factory, flexible manufacturing, work-in-process inventory management, lean thinking, etc). During the learning-by-doing LEGOstics trainings participants can get practical knowledge and develop many innovative skills to be able to construct, design and re-engineer sustainable and efficient logistics processes. They can understand the importance of observations and measurements in logistics, and they feel the responsibility of making decisions. In our essay we present how we implemented LEGOstics concept into the formal education focusing on the experiences we got at Cartagena Politechnica University, Spain. Index Terms—Education Development, Learning-By-Doing, LEGOstics.
