Education MINDSTORMS NXT is the second version of LEGO Education’s MINDSTORMS robotics platform. It was launched in 2006 and was followed by LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 in 2013. The platform included a programmable brick (also known as the NXT brick), motors, sensors, and a range of LEGO Technic parts. As with other versions of MINDSTORMS, the NXT was developed for two different markets, home users (children and adult fans) and education (teachers and students). Different sets were released for each market. These included the MINDSTORMS NXT Education Core Set (9797) and MINDSTORMS NXT (8527), and MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 (8547).
