LEGO MINDSTORMS is an application that works with Robot Inventor Kit of the same name. This is an interactive platform for building, coding and controlling intelligent mechanisms with LEGO bricks and motors.
Projects
There are animated building instructions for multiple unique robots, ranging from simple designs to complex machines. Each project helps users gradually understand mechanical structures and movement. Guides are divided into stages for easy progression and troubleshooting. By following these builds, kids can learn engineering concepts while engaging in hands-on learning.
Control
It is possible to connect to robots via Bluetooth and control them in real time using the built-in intuitive joystick or button-based interface. Motion sensors, motors and custom code respond instantly, allowing you to test ideas and refine performance on the fly.
Moreover, the app features missions and coding challenges to help you apply logic and creativity in solving problems. Each task introduces a new goal or function the robot must perform, encouraging trial and error. The assignments sharpen problem-solving skills, quite useful especially for children at their young age.
