For example, one option is to use a text-based programming language, such as RobotC, that better reflects the dominant style of programming in the computer industry. Whether you’re looking for a way to extend your students, or to provide a link with another programming language, here is a list of some of the most popular third-party alternatives. LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS (LVLM) and LabVIEW for Education (LV4E) are visual programming environments. The EV3 Software was built in LabVIEW, so LVLM provides a great next step for students who are familiar with that programming language and ready for something more powerful and versatile.

Extensive documentation and online support is available. For more information, visit: http://www.robotc.net/. Ev3dev isn’t actually a programming language, but rather a Debian Linux-based operating system that can run almost all languages that any other linux distribution can run, including C++, Node.js, and Python.
leJOS (EV3, NXT, RCX) LeJOS (pronounced like the Spanish word “lejos” for “far”) is a tiny Java Virtual Machine that supports Java. Open Roberta is a free, drag and drop, cloud-based platform for programming LEGO EV3 and NXT robots. For more information, see: Open Roberta: A Review. EV3 Basic is a textual programming language. For more information, see: Introducing EV3 Basic. Scratch is a very popular visually programming environment. Several extensions have been created to support the NXT or EV3. For more information about Scratch, see: https://scratch.mit.edu/ Scratch can also be used with LEGO WeDo as described in Scratch-ing the LEGO WeDo. Enchanting is a programming environment for the NXT that is built on Scratch. For more information, see: http://enchanting.robotclub.ab.ca/. ROBOLAB is a visual programming language built in LabVIEW that was developed by the Tufts CEEO. ROBOLAB was the dominant programming language for educational LEGO robotics prior to the release of the NXT Software.

I teach pre-service teachers. In our footprint, schools are low on funding, and low on expertise. I have funded myself, and played with a variety of robots for lower primary, including some quite expensive models. Without a doubt Edison is most user-friendly, versatile and of course cost-effective” - Wendy Fasso, Central Queensland University, Australia“I've been running camps here in Ireland using Edison robots and the children are delighted with the robots and are really enjoying playing with them.
They are amazed with what the robots can do and love designing their own programs. It's great to see how imaginative they are.” - Sinéad Diggin, Ireland “I have been so thrilled watching my students come up with creative ways to work with the two Edisons we have. They are in the process of creating a video to share with our parent community to convince them this is a great way to get students engaged in this type of technology.” - Yolanda Gonzales, Boise school District, USA“In the classrooms, the robots are gradually filtering through all classes. All teachers have been hugely impressed by the enjoyment the students experience as well as the higher order thinking skills that are used to solve challenges that students encounter with the Edison robots.”- Julia Creasy, Coolbinia Primary School, Australia“I am very impressed with the Edison and how they have engaged the students in my class.”- Andrew P., Primary Teacher, Australia Edison NewsRead About the Latest News with Edison
