LEGO Mindstorm EV3
Description
The EV3 Classroom app is the official programming companion for the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 system. It enables users to program, control, and test EV3 robots via a visual drag-and-drop interface (based on Scratch) and run code on the EV3 brick via Bluetooth, USB, or other supported connections.
The software provides built-in lesson units and curriculum modules to guide students and teachers through structured robotics/STEM projects.
It is not a stand-alone “learning app” — it is meant to be used with the EV3 hardware (robots built from the EV3 kit).
Features
- Scratch-style Visual Programming: Drag and drop blocks to build logic, sequences, loops, conditions, sensor responses, and motor controls.
- Multi-device / Cross-platform Use: The app works on tablets (iPad, Android) as well as desktop systems (Windows, macOS) giving consistent experience across devices.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Allows wireless control and programming of robots.
- Integrated Curriculum / Guided Units: The app includes step-by-step lessons and challenges aligned to robotics and STEM concepts, helping structure classroom or self-guided learning.
- Competition-Ready Support: The setup is designed to work with contests like the FIRST LEGO League, giving teams tools to program and test their robots.
