There are several ways of programming FIRST LEGO League Challenge Robots. The two most popular are EV3-G, which is also referred to as EV3 Lab, and a new language created by LEGO Education based on Scratch. The latter language was originally introduced with the SPIKE Prime set when it debuted in 2019. A version of this Scratch-based language called EV3 Classroom is now also available for programming EV3 robots on Apple Mac computers.

It became the standard software for the EV3 Set for those running Windows 10 and macOS Catalina 10.15 in the fall of 2020. The Mac version also works with macOS Mojave 10.14. Those with earlier operating systems should continue to use EV3 Lab.
