Review on LEGO MINDSTORMS 31313 Educational Programming by Doug Mancilla

Before you buy it in 2019, you should be aware that there are alternatives to Scratch and other more advanced Lego programming robots. They are more intuitive and have better software support that works well in the modern ecosystem. I installed this software and got several warnings that it is not compatible with my latest version of MacOS. It still works, so that's a good sign. Brick eats battery so I ordered rechargeable batteries and hope they last a while. Clearly, Lego's hardware building instructions are, as always, top notch. I think I have all the parts as far as I've built any of the models. I just started programming on it with my 6 year old. He'll need help, and so will I. I'll update my review and see how things go. Loses 1 star for a bit dated and 1 star for extreme battery skills! So I suggest looking around before buying in 2019.
