Programming languages are a crucial element of the information technology program. Student lack of motivation tolearn programming languages has been a serious hurdle for the program. The authors consider that motivating students tostudy programming is the foundation for the beginning of learning the subject. To address this, the authors implemented adiscovery learning based LEGO Mindstorms NXT development activity in the programming curriculum. Development onthe NXT platform provided students with feedback by means of the ability to check the results of their programs visuallyand within a timely manner. This activity also gave students the opportunity to link classroom lecture content with practicalimplementation. The positive affect this curriculum had on the students' motivation for learning programming wasconfirmed via the results of student questionnaires.
