Abstract

Nowadays, the value of programming education is increasing and the starting age of education has decreased to primary schools. Parallel to this, programming tools have also been diversified. Classical programming seems difficult for beginners and especially young children. So block programming languages have been developed. Block programming is easier for beginners to adapt. With the spread of programming education, block programming has been developed, many languages and materials have been developed for programming robots with blocks. One of the most widely used among these robots is the Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot. In this context, the aim this study is to introduce Lego EV3, to examine the programming interface and to provide information on how to use it.
