The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Solution


The Value of EV3

EV3 ignites your students’ motivation and engagement

EV3 boosts your students’ learning curve

EV3 helps you reach your curricular targets

EV3 is a plug & play learning tool


Strong backwards compatibility With EV3, LEGO Education worked hard to create strong backwards compatibility - EV3 is based on the same Technic building system like the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT - Reuse all of your bricks - EV3 uses RJ12 connector cables just like LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT -Reuse all of your sensors and actuators - EV3 software can program the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT brick - Use NXT and EV3 at the same time Reuse LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT sets together with LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 - No investment lost - Smooth transition - Increased possibilities
