LEGO® Education Evolves STEM Learning with the Next Generation LEGO MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Platform
LAS VEGAS–()–Today, LEGO® Education announced the LEGO
MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 platform, the next
generation of robotics for the classroom, continuing 15 years of
MINDSTORMS robotics technology for education. The EV3 platform was
created based on feedback from more than 800 educators worldwide and
provides relevant robotics curriculum and technology for teaching
computer science, science, technology, engineering, and math through a
hands-on experience with sensors, motors, programming, and the
programmable EV3 Brick. Students can now build and program a fully
functioning robot in a single 45-minute class period.
The platform includes customizable curriculum that is digitally
delivered and installs directly into the LEGO Education MINDSTORMS
programming software lobby. The built-in digital workbook can be used by
students to capture their work as they progress through the lessons,
making it easy for the teacher to follow students’ progress and assess
their work.
The EV3 platform includes Design Engineering Projects, a curriculum
package with 30 hours of classroom instruction. The structure of the
activities in the Design Engineering Projects curriculum follows the
engineering design process used by scientists and engineers in many
industries. Using videos of real-world robots as inspiration, the
students are given a design brief that challenges them to develop,
design, and share their solution. Throughout the process, students learn
through combining and applying science, technology, and math
disciplinary skills as they engineer their design solution. This
structure is designed to help students develop the creative-thinking,
problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills required for success
in school and beyond.
