This activity can easily be done in groups, so 8 cars should be enough for full classroom participation.
Description: The indi was voted one of Time Magazine's Best Inventions of 2021 and now Model Schools has a set to lend out! Our set of 8 adorable cars comes with Challenge Cards and color mats, and is great for teaching coding fundamentals. You do not need any devices to use them other than what comes in the kit. The indi is ready to be used right out of the box and with no connections to make - you use the color coded cards and can do discovery activities, mazes, and problem-solving while teaching coding concepts. For the next level, you can extend the activity with the Sphero app below. There is even a downloadable Educator Guide.
Apps/Sites:
Sphero Edu Jr. App - If you want to do some early coding, this app is compatible with the indi (scroll down to find links)
