STEM Programmable Robot Mouse
Technology is everywhere. Whether playing games on your smartphone or video games with parents, our children are using the latest technological advances in ways my generation never dreamed. Take this fascination to the next level and introduce your little ones to the concepts that are foundational to coding. The set up is easy. Pick an activity card with one of the challenging mazes (10 double-sided cards); build your maze using the grid pieces, walls and tunnels; select the color-coded cards that will direct your mouse through the maze; and program the mouse according to the selected sequence. Watch Colby, the robot mouse, race through the maze. Using analytical thinking and problem solving, children can also create their own mazes and program Colby to race through their own creations! The Mouse Coding Activity Set includes 83 pieces: 16 maze grids, 22 maze walls, 3 tunnels, the cheese wedge, 30 double-sided directional coding cards, 10 double-sided activity cards and Colby, the robot mouse (features 2 speeds, lights up, and makes sounds as it weaves through the maze). Also available is an additional Robot Mouse (Jack) for expanded play experience and additional challenges. Jack comes with 30 colorful directional coding cards and an activity guide with suggestions for making mazes with items available at home. Provides an excellent, hands-on STEM experience for children! 3 AAA batteries (not included) required to operate the robot mouse. ~Deanne
