LEGO Education provides Scratch-based graphical programming for both the Mindstorms EV3 Set and for the new SPIKE Prime Set. The SPIKE Prime software calls its Scratch-based language Word Blocks. The version of Scratch for Mindstorms EV3 is included in the EV3 Classroom software, which is available for Windows 10 64-bit, macOS Mojave and Catalina and Chromebooks.
