View item in the U of T Libraries catalogue
Introduces basic coding and programming concepts in a fun way. Children design a maze, then program a sequence of movements into the mouse which, when it runs, will result in it getting to the cheese with the goal of doing it in the fewest possible steps. Develops skills in problem solving, self-correcting errors, critical and analytical thinking, if-then logic, and distance and spatial concepts.

16 maze grid pieces, 22 maze wall pieces, 3 tunnels, 1 robotic mouse, 1 cheese wedge piece, 30 coding cards (14 for forward motion, 4 each for backward motion, turn right, turn left, and action), 10 activity cards (double-sided, showing 20 possible maze designs of increasing complexity), 1 activity guide (English, Spanish, French, and German)
