The LEGO 45800 set, also known as LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set, is a comprehensive and versatile kit designed to introduce students and robotics enthusiasts to the world of engineering, coding, and robotics in a hands-on, interactive manner. This set is aimed at educational environments and comes packed with everything needed to build, program, and command customizable robots.
Featuring over 540 LEGO Technic elements, including a programmable P-brick (the brain of your creations), multiple sensors (color/light, infrared, touch, gyro), motors, and a large assortment of building blocks, gears, wheels, and connectors, it allows for the construction of a variety of robots capable of performing complex tasks. Users can start with simple designs and progressively build more complicated robots as their understanding of mechanical and software engineering principles deepens.
The EV3 Core Set is complemented by EV3 programming software, which is user-friendly and based on drag-and-drop programming language similar to Scratch. This software enables creators to program their robots to walk, talk, think, and do anything they can imagine. It supports both desktop and mobile devices, facilitating a wide range of coding activities and projects.
This set is widely used in schools as part of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education programs, but its also popular among hobbyists who want to explore the fascinating world of robotics in a creative and engaging way. Beyond building and programming, the LEGO 45800 set encourages problem-solving, teamwork, and innovation, making it a valuable tool for developing future skills in young learners and enthusiasts alike.
