Overview and purpose
LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 Home is an app that helps you bring custom-built robots to life. Using parts from the EV3 robotics set, you can assemble machines and then program them to move, sense, and react — all from a straightforward interface designed for beginners and hobbyists.
How programming works
The app provides a block-style, drag-and-drop coding environment so beginners can start controlling motors and sensors with minimal setup. It’s well suited for learners of all ages, offering a gentle introduction to logic and sequencing without requiring prior coding experience.
Capture and share your creations
You can photograph your finished models directly within the app and publish those images to connect with other builders. Sharing lets you both showcase your ideas and discover new techniques from the broader LEGO community.
Important compatibility notes
- This application is intended to be used alongside the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics kit and does not replace the physical components.
- The EV3 brick and compatible sensors/motors are required for full functionality.
- Some advanced classroom or curriculum features may require additional software or accounts.
Alternative option to consider
If you want a different experience, consider EV3 Classroom from LEGO Education (paid). It is geared toward educational settings and may include extra tools for structured lessons, classroom management, and curriculum alignment.
