Learning Resources STEM Logic Game Super Maze 5-9 years foam pieces for coding

The STEM Super Maze logic game from Learning Resources is a set designed specifically to complement school activities and spark children's interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Children aged 5 to 9 discover basic concepts of logic and programming while building and traversing a maze full of obstacles. At the beginning of the game, the little ones familiarize themselves with the concept of a maze and the game pieces, then advance to increasingly complex rules.

One game mode is cooperative: one player moves through the maze, while the other gives them different commands based on the images on the game cards. The goal is to reach the end of the maze marked with the little robot. If the player traversing the maze does not manage to reach the robot, the two players must identify the error together, replace the coding cards, and start over until they succeed in crossing the maze.

For a more complex game variation, you can also introduce object cards (gears, springs, and X's) and action cards (claw, jetpack) into the game. Each of the cards has a specific meaning. For example, the spring card must be picked up and taken to the robot for repairs. Another game mode is team-based: two teams are formed, one team that traverses the maze and one that gives commands based on the coding cards. Use all the learned notions about coding to build a super maze.

The set contributes to the development of critical thinking, team spirit, and cooperation, while kinesthetic activities encourage the development of motor skills. STEM sets are based on the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) school curriculum, where children learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as a single subject. This paradigm is based on experiments with everyday elements that help the little ones easily understand different phenomena and concepts.
