AUSTIN, Texas--At the SXSWedu Conference in Austin, LEGO Education demoed the new LEGO Education EV3 Programming App for use with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 solution. The EV3 Programming App is a simple and effective way for classrooms to get started with LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 within a 45 minute classroom period. 

The combination of the physical EV3 robot and app provides educators with the tools needed to engage and motivate their students and opens up the possibility of expanding the EV3 experience to the more extensive computer-based edition of EV3.

The app will come as part of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 software purchase. It is not sold separately or independently of the software. Full programming capabilities and integration with the three MINDSTORMS Education EV3 curriculum packs are only available with the full version of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 programming software.

The App has a wide range of supporting materials to ensure educators have a successful start. It includes:

  • Quick start videos and six step-by-step Robot Educator tutorials that provide an effective guide to the programming and hardware functionalities
  • Building instructions for the Robot Educator model
  • A user guide and teacher introduction pages
  • Nine robotics lesson plans that link to local curriculum standards and suggest possible assessment areas
 
The intuitive software platform for LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 is based on LabVIEW™ system design software. Created by NI, LabVIEW is used by engineers and scientists to solve some of the world’s greatest engineering challenges. LabVIEW provides LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 users with fun, hands-on experiences that help them develop skills that can be used in school as well as industry. The integration of the tablet provides a natural touch interface for graphical programming, allowing students to hone their skills with real-world tools scientists and engineers use.
