Code and Go Mice (10)
and mice (named Colby & Jack)

Integration

• Great tool for teaching coding to early learners. Includes challenge cards and small action cards to layout the required code before entering it into the mouse.

• Each 16 square maze can be configured in a variety of formats. Assemble the green tiles and design a maze with a starting and ending location (cheese); program/code the mouse to navigate your maze. Code and Go Mouse manual (12 page .pdf)

• Code & Go Robot Mouse Activity Set for STEM Learning Review (from 2016)

• The Code and Go Mice kits are available for FREE for Civil Air Patrol Aerospace Educators ($35 to join for life) - just complete the short STEM Kit application (they usually send more than one kit - based on the number of students)

Tips

• Never force or push the mouse or it will strip the gears (replacement mice are $28 each)

• Create your own challenge or use the coding activity cards

• Use the small sequencing cards to play the program before entering the code sequence into Colby (blue) or Jack (purple)

• Green button to start program, yellow button clears program, red button for "action" (lightning bolt on the activity card)

• Pressing a turn arrow only turns the mouse - no forward movement

• Watch the mouse when it reaches the cheese!
