Labview Educational Edition

NI LabVIEW Education Edition software helps high school teachers bring science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts to life through hands-on learning. With LabVIEW, you can quickly build a program to log data, power a robot, or analyze information. The new LabVIEW Education Edition was designed in conjunction with Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach to meet the needs of engineering educators, and works seamlessly with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT, Vernier SensorDAQ and Go! Sensors, and TETRIX™ by Pitsco.
