EDUCATION
Since the beginning of this century, LEGO
®
MINDSTORMS
®
Education
has led the way in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Math) Education, inspiring users to engage in fun, hands-on learning.
The combination of LEGO building systems with the LEGO
MINDSTORMS Education EV3 technology is now offering even more
ways to learn about robotics and teach the principles of programming,
physical science, and mathematics.
The heart of LEGO MINDSTORMS Education is the EV3 Brick, the
programmable intelligent brick that controls motors and sensors,
as well as providing wireless communication. Choose what motors
and sensors you wish to use and build your robot just how you want
it to be.
To provide the interface between you and the EV3 Brick, we have
developed the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Software and
EV3 Programming App. The EV3 Software for Windows and
Macintosh gives you easy access to content, programming, data
logging, digital workbooks, and more, while the EV3 Programming
App gives you many of the same features on a Chromebook or
tablet. Follow the integrated Robot Educator tutorials and you’ll be
creating, programming, and running your robot before you know it.
The intuitive, icon-based Programming Environment is full of
challenging possibilities, and the EV3 Software’s data logging
environment provides a powerful tool for scientific experimentation.
LEGO Education offers a growing number of EV3-based curriculum
packages developed by experienced educators. We are committed
to responsive customer support, professional development, and
continuing education for teachers using MINDSTORMS robotics in
their classrooms.
