There is so much more educational value to this approach.This set is based upon the latest science standards and was created to enhance students' curiosity and science skills.
Then you can teach students to tinker with their own programs to have their bots function in a way that makes sense to them. I would prefer to be able to have the students read the programs so they can understand the entire process…įor those missing the programs, I believe you really are better off at least understanding the mechanics that went into your model. Unfortunately, much of the built-in programs are full of customized blocks. If you see small window in the upper right hand corner that has a video clip of the model, you are close to the building and programming instructions as well! The video is 1/3, the building instructions is on 2/3 and the built-in program is on 3/3 which may actually take a little while to “magically” appear on your programming canvas. However, if you have the education software installed, try opening the core models. You can contact Lego customer service with your software key and they should send you a link to re-install on your new devices. Sometimes, building a robot and downloading an existing program to it is all people want to do.Ĭome on Lego - don’t just tease us with the PDF building instructions… give us the EV3 project files for the education robots… pretty please…? They already provide the building instructions for free, so why not the EV3 project files to go with them? Yes, people can develop the robot programs themselves, of course, but not everyone wants to do that. Apparently, the reason for this is to do with intellectual property, but I don’t really understand this argument: if someone has gone out and bought either the EV3 retail set (plus the additional parts to turn it into the EV3 education set), or they’ve bought the EV3 education set itself, then surely it should be no skin off Lego’s teeth to provide the EV3 project files for the education robots as they will have already gotten their money’s worth out of that customer when they bought the EV3 set.
The EV3 project files for the education models are unfortunately only available with the education version of the Mindstorms EV3 software, and so they are not available unless you buy that software for US$100.
