This book starts by introducing the parts that you will see when you open the EV3 box, and it ends with suggestions on how to begin your own robot. In between, the book covers a wide range of programming from basic to advanced. These lessons go along with projects that you can build with your own EV3 set. There will be a total of fi ve robots that I hope will encourage you to challenge yourself to become a better maker throughout your EV3 journey.
