This deluxe set includes 30 double-sided coding cards, 10 double-sided activity cards, cheese wedge, and Activity Guide to provide the perfect hands-on introduction to coding concepts Aiden (age 6.5) had no problem programming the mouse to travel through the maze once I showed him how it worked. Lily (age 2) enjoyed pushing the green button to make the mouse go through the maze after I had already programmed it for her. She liked creating the maze by placing walls and tunnels for the mouse to navigate through. Colby develops children’s analytical thinking and problem-solving skills in a fun way. This little robot gives you an insight into the basics of robotics and programming. Children understand that robots or computers do not act independently, but execute commands that are given to them by people in the form of codes. Create your path with 16 maze grids to create a 50cm x 50cm maze board, 22 maze walls, and 3 tunnels for endless possibilities Programming the robot mouse is a wonderful introduction to coding for kids. It works on if-then logic, problem solving, correcting errors, and critical thinking.

The children now have to program the path for the robot mouse, for example: Colby should go from pig to dog and from there to the donkey, on the way it should nibble the cheese. The race is on to build coding skills through 100% screen-free, hands-on play with Colby the code and go robot mouse. This set has been specifically designed to engage and inspire primary children in science, technology, engineering and maths lessons to enhance enthusiasm from a young age.

MouseBot: Escape from CatLab is a zany and exciting platforming game that will test your reflexes, skills, timing, and love of cheese!

The child then has to place the small programming cards in front of the maze and program the mouse to bring it to the appropriate shape. The best selling Code and Go Robot Mouse Activity Set with Colby, the code and go robot mouse is perfect for STEM learning in the classroom. Developed with teachers in mind, this interactive robot mouse with STEM challenge activity set introduces early years coding concepts through fun, hands-on activities. It's also great for use at home. Watch the video below to see the mouse in action. The video also includes the method my son prefers to use to program the mouse. He likes to take the mouse through the maze and program it as he goes. Sometimes he goes a little too fast and makes a mistake. Colby lights-up, makes sounds, and features 2 speeds along with colourful buttons to match coding cards for easy programming and sequencing The set provides real S.T.E.M learning for children and young teenagers. It provides a basic introduction to the concepts of coding such as:Children build a maze, and then use the coding cards to create a step-by-step path for Colby, the programmable interactive robot mouse Build up the maze or have it built by the children. Place the animal cards and the cheese on different fields of the maze.

STEM programming set includes 30 tiles to create paths to set your programmable mouse of on its journey. Let the children prepare the maze. You will be put some (or all) geometric shapes on the maze. Put Colby on any field. Conquer 88 challenging platform-style levels as you delve deeper into the mysterious laboratories of CatLab and uncover the cats' nefarious plans. Collect epic piles of cheese, and transmogrify that cheese into new skins and accessories for your robotic mouse. This STEM robot mouse is a great gift for children and young teenagers to develop their understanding of programming and to give children more skills and understanding of this fast paced world of technology. This is a great entry to the programming world. This will keep young minds occupied for hours.
