Hi all,

I was just made aware of this, not sure when it was posted or if any of you
know about it:

"The current version of the EV3 Lab software is not compatible with the
upcoming release of Apple’s operating system for Mac computers, called
‘Catalina’. We have therefore decided to replace the current EV3 Lab
software and EV3 Programming App with a completely new app, called LEGO®
MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Classroom. Featuring a coding language based on
Scratch, EV3 Classroom will initially launch for macOS in November 2019 and
in spring 2020 for iOS, Windows 10, Android and Chrome. EV3 Classroom will
offer a consistent experience, features, and content across all devices.
The first release of EV3 Classroom will be in US English, followed by the
other 15 EV3 languages in spring 2020."

So - if this will be released in November, will any of you have your kids
update to it? It seems rather close to the tournament. That would be
cutting it close if the interface looks different and would take any
getting used to.
