• Non-routine tasks that require Social Intelligence
• Complex Critical Thinking
• Creative Problem Solving

How to run Lego Boost on an Android Phone

Lego Boost is the new "creative toolbox" from Lego for kids (Lego NXT is designed for ages greater than 14, whereas Lego Boost was labeled for ages "7-12") to build robots which comes with a set of 5 models to be built.
According to official information, you need to have an Android tablet or an iPad in order to run Lego Boost app (and also Kindle, but there is no Windows application, yet). And this app works only after Android version v5.x.

But what to do, if you have only an Android phone? Well, you cannot donwload Lego Boost app from Google's Playsore ("This device is not supported").
If you try to download Lego Boost apk file from APK-downloader sides, it won't run on your phone..

But there is a way to overcome this: APKPure

APKPure's app enables to run XAPK files, which you can download also from their website.

After installing APKPure on your Android phone, search for Lego Boost and download XAPK file:

You can also download APK files, and older versions if you scroll down:

Now you can run Lego Boost from Android phone without any restriction (well, on an 5.5" screen a bit tight but makes fun working with it)
