EV3 PROGRAMMING APP

The LEGO

®

 MINDSTORMS

®

 Education EV3 Programming App is a 

great way to learn about programming with the EV3 Brick using 
Chromebooks or tablets. With the same look and feel as the EV3 
Software, though without the data logging and Content Editor features, 
the Programming App focuses on helping students to develop robot 
programming skills in an intuitive and fun learning environment.

Installing the Programming App

Once you have confirmed that your Chromebook or tablet meets 
the minimum system requirements you can go to the App Store, 
Google Play or Chrome Web Store and download and install the free 
app: LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Programming.

Unlike the EV3 Software, the Programming App does not have 
separate Teacher & Student Editions.
