Robotics with LEGO Mindstorms EV3

It's been a great ride, EV3, and we are sorry to see you go!
LEGO® Mindstorms® EV3 kits have been discontinued, and support for the software is likely to discontinue in the coming year. The curriculum and videos on these pages, however, will remain available as long as 4-H members and others need them. For now, the software that matches the project books can be downloaded here: LEGO® Mindstorms® Education EV3 Lab Software v. 1.4.5.

A few resources are needed:
