These are the LEGO Education versions of Mindstorms, sold to schools, along with the extra parts made for classroom use. The first ones paired the RCX brick with ROBOLAB, programming software built with Tufts University and National Instruments, in team challenge sets. Later sets followed each new brick, the NXT and then the EV3, whose Education Core Set of 2013 came in a storage box with a rechargeable battery.
2015 LEGO Sets
In 2015, LEGO broadened its portfolio with new and returning themes. LEGO Dimensions launched as a toys-to-life crossover linking dozens of franchises including DC, The Lord of the Rings, and Doctor Who. New lines such as Elves, Jurassic World, Scooby-Doo, and Speed Champions debuted, while BIONICLE and Pirates returned in refreshed forms. City marked ten years under its modern branding, and Star Wars supported The Force Awakens with a major release wave. Meanwhile, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Hobbit concluded as LEGO shifted toward newer properties.
