Beginner Lessons

Below are links to summaries of Prof. Jennifer Kay's Beginners video courses for LEGO Mindstorms EV3 which I found to be time consuming to watch. I did the summaries to better remember what is taught as well as for revision. I hope these summaries will be useful too for past participants for revision purposes.

Summaries of videos listed in order. Link set to open in same new page. Return here and click the next link for the next lesson which will then open in the same new page.
