We dug deep to find out absolute favorite MINDSTORMS EV3 projects. What is MINDSTORMS EV3?
The toys that taught generations of children to think like architects are now giving kids the opportunity to learn computer engineering and programming through robotics. Kits like the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 come with hardware and software to bring to life fully functional robots in infinite configurations. The development environment uses graphical representations of code to simplify the programming process for learners. Despite this new user-friendly learning environment, the complexity of devices children can create is limited only by their imaginations. As they progress in their programming skills, they can shift from the graphical interface to pure code. With numerous add-on motors, batteries, and sensors, robots can be expanded and upgraded to perform new and more complex functions. Here is a look at some of our favorite MINDSTORMS EV3 ideas from across the web. Solving a Rubik's Cube is an impressive feat, but teaching a robot how to do it is the ultimate test of your child's problem-solving abilities.
In doing so, your child will also learn about the mechanics of color sensing. Build a replica of Disney Pixar’s WALL•E and teach him how to play a number guessing game. In order to help WALL-EV3 make hairpin turns and travel in a straight path on uneven ground, your child must learn about the principles of gyroscopes. The Tic-Tac-Toe Robot Arm Build your own robotic tic-tac-toe playing partner. This machine uses a sensor to detect which spaces on a grid are empty and then uses an algorithm to decide on the best move. This project serves as an advanced lesson in designing decision trees. The EV3 Color Sorter Speaking of color sensing, the Color Sorter builds on the lessons learned from the MindCub3r project by adding touch sensors into the mix. This tutorial walks your child through creating a device that dispenses objects and organizes them by hue. Your child can learn all about automation by making his or her own drawing machine. The Spirograph can be used to mass produce pictures of any pattern your child can program.
Kids can even add a coin detector to monetize their hard work. The location of the building instructions on this web page isn’t obvious, so we’ve included a link here. Building a SUMO Robot is a great way for kids to learn about automobile construction while safely living out their demolition derby fantasies. This bulldozer can lift and transport small objects, but it is intentionally designed for destruction. This makes for a great group project as kids can compete to see who can build the strongest bot. Instead of finding out how printers work by taking them apart, kids can now learn by putting together their own. In 58 steps, your child can make his or her own working printer. Aside from meticulous construction skills, this project requires mastery of coordinate systems. This tutorial teaches the fundamentals of gyroscopes to help two different robots stand upright and move around on just two wheels. It also suggests additional challenges without providing step-by-step instructions, which requires kids to apply their knowledge to come up with their own creations.

Disney intros new bots @ Maker Faire HOW TO – Build your own Wall-E robot Lego Ideas (formerly known as Lego Cuusoo) is a website run by Chaordix and The Lego Group, which allows users to submit ideas for Lego products to be turned into potential sets available commercially, with the original designer receiving 1% of the royalties.[1] It started in 2008 as an offshoot of the Japanese website Cuusoo.
Lego Ideas was first introduced as an offshoot of the Japanese website Cuusoo, produced as a collaboration between that company and The Lego Group. Titled Lego Cuusoo, the site was labeled a beta site and remained so until the unveiling of Lego Ideas as a finished product.[2] In 2014, the platform moved to Chaordix. Users express their idea by combining a written description of the idea and a sample Lego model that demonstrates the concept into a project page. Once the page is published it is viewable to other users. The goal of every project is to be supported by 10,000 different users, which would then make the project eligible for review. At first, projects would be kept on the Cuusoo/Ideas website for up to two years and then taken down if the project did not reach the 10,000 required votes of support. Lego Ideas later changed the threshold to include a minimum number of 1,000 votes in the first year after submission or the project would expire, followed by six months to reach 5,000 and then another six months to reach the 10,000 supported votes.
Originally, project submissions were allowed to be about anything and had no limits on the size and style of project. After sets began to be rejected with stated reasons, Lego Ideas announced restrictions on content including the use of no new part molds, banning intellectual properties owned by competing toy companies, and adult content. Lego Ideas further restricted project submissions in June 2016 by limiting the size of the project, any project replicating a life-size weapon, and any project based on an intellectual property already produced as a set by Lego Ideas/Cuusoo. All eligible projects are collectively reviewed in the order of whichever projects hit 10,000 supporters within any of the three tri-annual deadlines of May, September, or January. Due to the increasing number of project submissions based on ideas that the Lego Company would reject, Lego Ideas has refined its submission standards over the years. Since its inception, a number of sets that have reached the 10,000 vote threshold have been rejected during the review for various reasons.
