Lego Mindstorm Ev3 Core Set 45544 

LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Core Set is a hands-on, cross-curricular STEM solution that engages students by providing the resources to design, build and program their creations while helping them develop essential skills such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. A Core Set supports two students and comes with a getting-started guide, video tutorials, and standards-aligned lesson plans. An eLearning program is included for educators.

This core set is optimized for classroom use and contains all you need to teach using the exciting LEGO^® MINDSTORMS^® set. It enables students to build, program and test their solutions based on real life robotics technology.

Please note that the battery charger(transformer) (45517) is sold separately.

It contains the EV3 Intelligent Brick, a powerful small computer that makes it possible to control motors and collect sensor feedback. It also enables BT and WiFi communication (NETGEAR WiFi dongle WNA1100 Wireless-N 150) as well as providing programming and data logging. Students are encouraged to brainstorm in order to find creative solutions to problems and then develop them through a process of selecting, building, testing and evaluating them.

This is also an excellent way of getting students to talk to each other and cooperate as well as giving them hands on experience with an array of sensors, motors and intelligent units. Instructions for additional models are included in the software.

The set also comes in a sturdy storage box with a sorting tray for easy classroom use and storage. 

The set includes:

• Three interactive servo motors
• Built-in rotation sensor and ultrasonic sensor
• Color/light sensor, gyro sensor and two touch sensors
• Rechargeable battery
• Ball wheel
• Connecting cables
• Building instructions
• LEGO Technic building bricks for creating a vast variety of models.

 

Key Learning Values:

• Design and build programmable robots using motors, sensors, gears, wheels, axles, and other technical components
• Understand and interpret two-dimensional drawings to create three-dimensional models
• Build, test, troubleshoot and revise designs to improve robot performance
• Gain practical, hands-on experience using mathematical concepts such as estimating and measuring distance, time, speed
• Communicate effectively using scientific and technical language.

The system includes the EV3 Intelligent Brick, a compact and powerful programmable computer that makes it possible to control motors and collect sensor feedback using the intuitive icon-based programming and data logging software that is delivered with the set.

The set is delivered in a sturdy storage bin with a sorting tray, three Servo Motors, five Sensors (Gyro, Ultrasonic, Color and 2x Touch), a EV3 Rechargeable DC Battery (with charging cable) and connecting cables.

Building instructions and other resources can be downloaded from the EV3 Resources & Support page (printed manual is no longer available).

•  Bricks

  Includes 541 elements that can be used for teaching science, technology, engineering, math, and computer science.

•  Curriculum

  The LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set comes with a curriculum pack and includes 48 tutorials to help you and your students learn the basics of LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3.

  The 48 step-by-step tutorials are designed to help educators and students master basic and advanced programming as well as hardware and data logging functions.

•  Software and apps

  The easy-to-learn, easy-to-use EV3 Software and the EV3 Programming app are optimized for classroom use. Programming is done by dragging and dropping icons into a line to form commands allowing students to build simple programs, and then easily and intuitively build on their skills until they are developing complex algorithms.

  The data logging feature inside the EV3 Software is a powerful science tool for carrying out experiments. It is easy to predict, collect, view, analyze and manipulate data from sensors and see the data in interactive graphs. The software is based on LabVIEW, the industry-leading graphical programming language, and is optimized for classroom usage.

  The LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 software lets your students:

  • Program robots and other creations
  • Document and track progress using the documentation tool
  • Create and edit content
  • Access the Robot Educator tutorials
  • Log real-time data and calculate data sets (not available on the tablet app)

  The software is Windows, Mac, Chromebook and iOS compatible.
