This activity combines Reneweable Energy and LEGO MINDSTORMS Educaiton. Investigate the NXT Solar Station’s ability to generate power by data logging wattage (W) values. Also investigate how a light source turned towards the NXT Solar Station and moving in different directions affects its performance. Optionally, a fixed NXT Solar Station can be compared to a movable NXT Solar Station by data logging the performance of both.
This activity combines Renewable Energy with LEGO MINDSTORMS Education. Investigating the NXT Wind Turbine’s ability to generate power by data logging wattage (W) values. Also investigating how an NXT Wind Turbine facing the fan is compared to an NXT Wind Turbine turned away from the fan by data logging the performance of both. Optionally, specific variables can be altered and their affect investigated.
This software addresses an issue on Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) that prevents using the built in Microphone to record sound in LEGO WeDo Software.
Instructions
Unzip the file to your desktop. To apply the patch you should launch the “WeDo Update” file located in the created folder.

This software addresses an issue on Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) that prevents updating the Firmware on the NXT.
Note: Do not attempt to update the Firmware on the NXT from a computer running Mac OS 1.5 without installing this software first.
If your NXT is clicking when you insert batteries, push the hardware reset button for five seconds before you insert the USB cable. This will ensure that the brick initializes correctly for the firmware download. The hardware reset button is located within the LEGO Technic hole below the USB connector on the NXT brick. If your NXT brick is not clicking when you insert batteries just go through the normal firmware download process as described within the manual when the patch is installed.

The single license version of the EV3 Software allows you to install and run the software on one computer.
This powerful, easy to learn, easy to use software for programming and data logging is based on National Instruments LabVIEW™. This is the industry-leading graphical system design software used by scientists and engineers worldwide. It is optimized for classroom use and follows the very latest developments in intuitive software design and gives is really student-friendly.
Programming with the EV3 Software is done by dragging and dropping icons into a line in order to form commands. The language’s graphical interface lets students build simple programs, and then easily and intuitively build on their skills until they are developing complex algorithms.
The software’s data logging feature is a powerful science tool for carrying out experiments. It is easy to collect, view, analyze and manipulate data from sensors and see the data in interactive graphs. Its unique feature, known as graph programming, makes experiments come alive as students can set threshold values for sensors, such as making a sound when a certain temperature is detected by the sensor.
The in-built content editor enables teachers to customize the curriculum and create their own lessons. It enables students to capture their work directly inside the content creating their own digital workbook, making classroom management and assessment easier.
The software comes with the robot educator learning tool that summarizes what the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education software is about. It includes 48 step-by-step multimedia tutorials designed to help educators and students master basic and advanced programming as well as hardware and data logging functions. Just add the core set and you’re ready to go!

New from LEGO® Education for the EV3 platform is Design Engineering Projects, a curriculum package with 30 hours of classroom instruction and open-ended problem-solving activities that make learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics through real-life robotics engaging and fun for students.
The curriculum features three main sections with five design projects per section for a total of 15 projects:
– Make it Move:
Students are challenged to design, build and program robots that move using motors with rotation sensors. In five projects students apply mathematics and science knowledge to create robots that measure distance, measure speed, move without using wheels, maximize power to move up an incline, and move and turn to create regular polygons. Students will also apply their knowledge of simple and complex machines and use ratios to describe proportional relationships.
– Make it Smarter:
Students are challenged to add sensors to their robots to control behavior and to measure, graph and analyze sensor data. In five projects, students develop robots that use sensors that measure ambient and reflected light, distinguish specific colors, measure distance from an object, recognize a touch sensor state (pressed or not pressed, or pressed and released), and measure angular displacement or rate of change.
– Make a System:
Students are challenged to design, build, and program robotics systems built from subsystems. In five projects, students develop systems that move a ball, pick and place objects, simulate manufacturing, sort colors, and communicate their location. Students test their system, gather data, and use that evidence to engineer system optimizations and improvements.
The structure of the activities in the Design Engineering Projects curriculum mimics the engineering design process used by scientists and engineers in many industries. Each project starts with a design brief explaining the challenge, uses videos of robots in action to make real-world connections, and culminates in a final project that can be shared and presented. Throughout the process students gain and use knowledge of science, technology and mathematics as they engineer a solution. This structure is designed to help students develop the 21st-century creative thinking, problem solving, teamwork, and communication skills required for success in school and beyond.
The curriculum is digitally-delivered and installs directly into the LEGO MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 programming software lobby. The in-built content editor enables teachers to customize the curriculum and create their own lessons. It enables students to capture their work directly inside the content creating their own digital workbook, making classroom management and assessment easier. The Design Engineering Projects curriculum was written to match national curriculum.
The LEGO USB Hub designed for the WeDo Construction Set controls sensors and motors via the WeDo Software when connected to a computer's powered USB port. This two-port hub transmits power and data to and from the computer, and both ports are able to control motors and sensors. The LEGO USB Hub is automatically detected by the WeDo Software when connected to a computer.
This set includes one grey 38 x 38 cm building plate, 2 green 25 x 25 cm building plates, and one blue 25 x 25 cm building plate. Let the blue represent the sea, the green grass, etc.
The Solar Panel provides sufficient power to operate the LEGO Energy Meter and motors. It delivers: 5V, 4mA in direct light from a 60W incandescent bulb positioned 25 cm from the solar panel (>2000 lux)
This award-winning set is packed with standard and curved LEGO® Soft elements that make it easy for children to develop physical skills and spatial awareness as they build life-sized figures, walls, towers, and obstacle courses.
