Mindstorms NXT

This software solution allows you to create a set of commands to control a robot that has been manufactured by Lego. Mindstorms NXT, is a completely original software, which was created by the leading manufacturer of children's constructor - LEGO. By installing this application you will be able to create a set of operations for robots from LEGO building blocks. The program carries both entertaining and cognitive meaning. With its help, even the youngest will be able to learn the basics of programming, as well as create a program for your own full-fledged robot. The process of code writing is presented in an interactive mode, the program teaches children in a game form. Creating a program for your robot will not be difficult even for the youngest.

What is the purpose of this program?

The main objective of this program is to teach children programming, as well as the creation of basic, simple algorithms. This activity perfectly develops logic and analytical thinking of the child, which will be useful for him in further education. Creating a set of instructions for the robot, is made at the expense of already prepared building blocks. Your child only needs to enter the necessary parameters and set the components in the desired sequence. Each building block is responsible for one or another function of the robot. For example, a motor is needed to move the robot, you insert it into the chain of components, and then specify the value of its power. Children can experiment with the values and see what this or that value leads to. To learn the ins and outs of working in this environment, it is recommended to watch some basic video tutorials. The program also has a full set of documentation, which is also localized in Russian.

Additional facts

The application will be useful for children who already have a LEGO robot. This software is similar to those used in robots from other manufacturers. It has almost identical functionality, as well as a similar graphical shell. So if your child has used other software before, it won't be too difficult for him to start using Mindstorms NXT.

Main Features

With this software, you can create a set of instructions for your robot; you can teach your child basic algorithms, programming and the basics of robotics; lessons and educational literature are fully localized; children can learn in a game form, which is much more effective than simple lessons.
