EV3 Classroom will offer a consistent experience, features, and content across all devices. Featuring a coding language based on Scratch, EV3 Classroom will initially launch for macOS in November 2019 and in spring 2020 for iOS, Windows 10, Android and Chrome. We have therefore decided to replace the current EV3 Lab software and EV3 Programming App with a completely new app, called LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Classroom. The current version of the EV3 Lab software is not compatible with the upcoming release of Apple’s operating system for Mac computers, called ‘Catalina’. LEGO has made an announcement about a replacement software. Updated LEGO announcement (September 2019) Education.įor users needing advanced features, the LEGO Education MicroPython for EV3 is the recommended solution. This software is good for basic programming, but lacks advanced features like data logging, file access, brick-to-brick Bluetooth messaging, and 3rd party sensor support. There is no direct replacement for this software and no way to automatically convert programs to any of the new software alternatives.Īt the end of November 2019, LEGO released a macOS version (English only) of their new programming software based on the Scratch programming language. To use existing programs or curriculum, it is highly recommended to either not upgrade macOS or to install a macOS or Windows virtual machine, such as Virtual Box, on your Mac to run the old version of the LEGO EV3 desktop software. If you are an existing EV3 Desktop software user and depend on being able The same happens with both the Home and the Education version.


I just updated to Catalina Beta 10.15 and as expected, the software no longer starts.
