Education EV3 MicroPython
Version 2.0.0
When you create a new project, it already includes a file called main.py. To see its contents and to modify it, open it from
the file browser as shown in Figure 2.3. This is where you’ll write your programs.
If you’re new to MicroPython programming, we recommend you keep the existing code in place and add your code to it.

projects using the Open Recent menu option.
