Udemy course: Fun with Beginner LEGO MindStorms EV3 Robotics
https://www.udemy.com/fun-with-beginner-lego-mindstorms-ev3-robotics
Learning by Doing – Lego EV3 Robotics for the absolute beginner, build small robots and program them using EV3-G.
This is a robotics course for absolute beginners.
Over the last seven years we have had requests from grandparents, parents and teachers who claim to have no technical knowledge, that the free tutorials we have provided over the Internet be put together in a course that assumes absolutely no prior technical background, a course that they can use to help their middle school age grandchildren/children/students have fun with robots.
In this Robotics course for absolute beginners we try to answer that request, converting many of our free tutorials for use with Lego’s new EV3 MindStorms set. This course is about having fun building small Lego MindStorms EV3 robots, finding out how to command them to smile and speak, travel in straight and curved lines, and how to follow the edge of a line.
This mini-course includes about 2 hours of video tutorials. How long students take to complete this course varies enormously between students, but as a rough indication, we have used videos similar to these as the basis for about half of an 8-week, 2 hours per week after-school course for classes from Grade 5 to Grade 8, and for Adult Education and Parent/Child classes.

ev3py – Python module for EV3 Mindstorms
https://github.com/thiagomarzagao/ev3py
This Python module lets you interact with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 bricks using intuitive, easy-to-understand methods. It communicates with the EV3’s native firmware, so there is no need to create a bootable SD card; just turn on the brick and start coding.
