LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3: The Mayan Adventure is great for the new LEGO EV3 user - especially one who loves step-by-step building and programming instructions. We combine well-illustrated instructions with a storyline of our Mayan king's tomb, filled with traps and passages. And how do our archaeologists make it past the traps? Young Evan brought his LEGO EV3 robot kit along, and his little bots save the day! Our book is an excellent choice for classroom adoption - the earlier edition is a proven favorite of robotics instructors, gifted student educators, and young people using it on their own. The book is unique in its use of real engineering design methodology and systems thinking. We don't just say "Here are the instructions - go build it our way." Instead, we support our students with a secure scaffold. Then as they build, they become skillful designers able to extend what they've learned from the book into whole new projects.

Klappentext
Build five robots to overcome obstacles and lead a team of explorers deep into a Mayan tomb. You are along for the ride with Evan and his archaeologist uncle as they explore a Mayan pyramid complete with traps and treasures. Using a variety of EV3 robots, the archaeology team is able to move deeper into the tomb, all the way to the sarcophagus of King Ixtua. But beware of the traps! The pyramid's design has successfully deterred unwanted visitors through the centuries, and your team will need to be careful and alert.
LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3: The Mayan Adventure guides in the design, construction, and programming of unique explorer robots to open the newly discovered tomb of an ancient Mayan king." You will learn and use a workmanlike design methodology that teaches you about your robot's motors and sensors. Complete building and programming instructions are provided for each robot, giving you as much guidance as you want, to learn as you build.
Can you help Evan and the team of explorers navigate through the old pyramid and gain entry to King Ixtua's tomb? Read the stories, dig in to the environments, and create the robots that will reveal the secrets of The Mayan Adventure.
- Updates the beloved Mayan Adventure to the latest LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 hardware and software.
- Shows how to build all five EV3 robots to solve real-world problems.
- Includes Design Journal pages and Engineering Notes that encourage constructive brainstorming.
