Discovery Kit Guides

Lego Mindstorms offers the opportunity to build, program, and play. With five core robot builds to choose from there's a robot for everyone! 

*You will need to download the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Robot Inventor App to a compatible device for digital building instructions and coding tools. There's also a built-in Help Center which features instructional videos to help get you started. 

Discovery Kits can be reserved in the catalog for pickup at any PPLD location. They check out for seven days but can be renewed as long as there are no holds.

Due to the size of the kits, all Discovery Kits must be returned to library staff at the main desk during regular business hours. Please do not return this item to a book drop.
