The Code & Go Robot Mouse kit offers a playful introduction to coding concepts through hands-on learning and problem solving. Build a maze, plan a path, and program Colby the Robot Mouse to race toward the cheese. Colby lights up, makes sounds, and can move at two different speeds, making learning both interactive and fun. This kit is a great way to explore the basics of programming through experimentation, creativity, and play.
Recommended for Ages 4+
Getting Started
Build a maze using the maze grids, walls, and tunnels. Use the coding cards to plan a path for Colby to reach the cheese, then enter the commands using the coloured buttons on the mouse. Press start and watch Colby follow the programmed sequence.
Try different maze layouts and programming sequences to create new challenges and explore different solutions.
