LEGO® MINDSTORMS® RESOURCES – LET’S KEEP RAISING ROBOTS
We have developed some short little build and programming videos – things that will get you started quickly with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Core Set. Remember that LEGO MINDSTORMS has been discontinued. So if you want to add new robots to your robot fleet, choose LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime.
Remember there are two versions of the MINDSTORMS software:
EV3 Lab Software
The original software. Still available to download on Windows and Mac. iPad version is now NOT available.
Download here
EV3 Classroom App
The updated software – more like Scratch. Very similar to the SPIKE Prime software – so helpful if you have both types of robot in your school. Available on multiple platforms.
