EV3 Programming Tutorials

Introduction to Programming LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Teacher’s Guide: http://www.education.rec.ri.cmu.edu/content/lego/ev3/files/EV3%20teachers%20guideWEB.pdf

There are tutorials pre-programmed into your programming software (LabVIEW), but we have found these additional sources that might be helpful for you.

The most helpful tutorials that I have found are the tutorials on You Tube from the W.A.F.F.L.E.S. Community Group and the videos from Darren Wilson.  If you go to You Tube and search for “WAFFLES Community Group EV3 Programming” and Darren Wilson “EV3 Programming”, you will find several videos that are very helpful.
