Product Information

When construction is finished on the LEGO Mindstorms NXT Education Base Set 9797, the fun is only just beginning. Part of the LEGO Education sub-line, this set is meant to boost knowledge of science, technology, and engineering.With this LEGO Mindstorms set, students can build a real-life robot and program robotic solutions. It includes a smart brick called NXT that allows you to program and control your creation. It features three separate servo motors that interact with one another. This LEGO kit also features an array of sensors. These include a light sensor, a sound sensor, an ultrasonic sensor for distance, and two touch sensors.Rounding out the Technic Mindstorms education NXT set is a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack. The set comes with its own charger and connecting cables. Specifically, the set comes with seven compatible connector cables: one short, four medium, and two long. It also comes with three 9V system converter cables and three 9V system lamps. If you wish, you can use two standard double AA batteries instead of the lithium ion rechargeable battery pack. Full color instructions are included to guide you in building the LEGO Mindstorms education NXT base set.Building with this unique LEGO Technic education set involves more than simply placing bricks. You will use motors, gears, and other electronic devices to put together the Technic Mindstorms NXT robot. The brain of the Technic Mindstorms robot is the NXT intelligent brick. It is programmable and allows you to command a variety of tasks via the three motors.The Technic robot reacts to light, sound, ultrasonics, and touch. It’s a great choice of gear for parents and teachers wishing to teach their kids a range of learning values. These include selecting, developing, building, testing, and evaluating solutions. It also motivates creative brainstorming for alternative solutions. The set stimulates learning to work as part of team, sharing ideas, and communicating. With this set, users get hands-on experience in using motors, sensors, and other robotics parts and working with the software for data logging and controlling the robot.Advanced users can even create their own firmware and EV3 software on the Windows or Mac system for this set. That’s because LEGO Technic has made the interface information “open source.” This extends this educational product’s value even further after the projects in the downloadable EV3 software are completed.This kit can be used seamlessly in conjunction with many other LEGO brick set kits. Most notably, it’s frequently used with the various LEGO Resources companion sets to add and extend functionality. As an education kit, this set is commonly used with the 800+ Mindstorms Education Resources brick set 9695.First released by the LEGO Group in 2006, the Technic Mindstorms NXT brick line is LEGO’s robotics building platform. NXT stands for “next” in honor of the fact that it was the next generation of LEGO robotics resources since 1998.
