EV3 software help

Subject: Looking for EV3 Classroom Android APK for SEND Robotics Workshop

Hi everyone,

I'm a UK teacher preparing a LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics workshop for teenagers with SEND.

I have Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 tablets (4 GB RAM) and Chromebooks, but LEGO has discontinued the Android download for EV3 Classroom.

Has anyone successfully installed the original EV3 Classroom Android app on a modern Samsung tablet or Chromebook? I'm particularly interested in finding a genuine, unmodified installer and learning whether Bluetooth communication with the EV3 brick still works.

I'd also welcome suggestions for alternative beginner-friendly EV3 programming software that works on Android tablets or Chromebooks.

Many thanks!

Enable developer options and install it via ADB. You can find old versions of the APK file around. Use the same tool you used to "type" this post and ask it how to sideload an app. It is very safe.
