Core EV3 Index

The document provides an overview of 16 topics covered in an EV3 robotics curriculum. Topic 1 introduces the EV3 kit parts and components. Topic 2 has students build the Robot Educator model and learn basic brick programming. Topic 3 covers moving the robot using EV3-G programming blocks and exploring different move blocks. Subsequent topics involve completing mini challenges that teach skills like using sensors, looping, and maze solving to program the robot. The final topic is a main challenge to design, build and program a brick sorting robot.
