NXT Tutorial
These lessons assume you have a basic robot built
similar to the one on the home page. See the RoboCenter or
Robot Educator in the NXT Editor software for plans or use
the paper copy that came with your set.
Welcome to our multimedia tutorial for the NXT-G graphical
language of the LEGO® Mindstorms® NXT system.
This tutorial is divided into two sections selected on the
left. The Essentials are things every NXT programmer
should know. Some of these movies have exercises directly
under them. Its important to do these exercises, not just
assume you get it. The biggest reason why people have
problems using the NXT-G language is not applying through
hands-on programming what they have just learned.
The Advanced section is for reference purposes. When you
need one of NXT-Gs advanced functions, check it out.
This tutorial requires Shockwave to play the movies. If its
not installed on this machine you can download the free
player here. Also, check out the Browser Settings section

In order to develop standards, we must first identify key skills which students will need in the future. It's not as easy as you think to ascertain the identity of these skills, because it's difficult to predict the future. Although, within the next ten years, the paradigm of workplace technology is sure to change.
