The EV3 brick is turned on using the middle button and takes around 1-2 minutes to boot up. When it turns on, it places you in the main menu, which looks like this:
In this menu, you can navigate with the Up and Down buttons. To find your program, you need to enter the "File Browser". If there is more than one project, you will get a list of all projects on the brick and you must select yours:
When you select your project, the robot will show you everything there is in it. Your program is called "main.py" and selecting it will start it. Go to the robot test zone before you start your robot.
Returning to the menu is done by selecting the "../" option in the menu or pressing the side button under the brick screen:
If you press the return to menu button while the program is running, it will be interrupted. If you press the button for returning to the menu while you are on the main menu, the brick will ask you if you wish to shut it down:
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
Python with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 - Level 1
The course introduces students to the programming language Python. We use LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robots. Python is a popular programming language. It could be used for introducing students to programming, for academic studies, for developing machine learning algorithms and as a general-purpose language.
During the course, students learn how to read and how to develop Python programs. They use an Integrated Development Environment called Visual Studio Code. Robots are programmed to perform interesting and funny tasks like "bringing you water". The level ends with competition on a playing field with boxes.

Lesson 1 - Beverage Assistant
Introduction
Anyone who decides to develop themselves in the field of robotics does so because they have been dazzled by the possibilities of automation in everyday life.
Whether you wish to build a multitude of small robots that work together to make your life easier or a big humanoid robot that does your homework for you, you have also come here to create your own robots.
In order to create complex robots, we first need to build simpler ones but this does not mean that they cannot be functional. "Paalia Technology" is one of the companies that began manufacturing and selling robots that are programmed to be waiters and today we will make a simple robot that serves tables today.
For most of us, these are the first steps into robotics, which is why we will start with a simple platter robot that moves to a specific location and returns.
In every lesson, we will learn how to make increasingly more complex robots and you will be able to automate more aspects of your life.
