Learning Resources Jack the Robot Mouse STEM Toy, programmable coding robot for kids ages 4+

The STEM Jack the Mouse game from Learning Resources is specifically designed to complement school activities and spark little ones' interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Together with their new friend, children learn basic notions of logic and coding in a friendly and fun way, suitable for ages 4 and up.

By playing with Jack, children develop their analytical and critical thinking, problem-solving skills, teamwork, and communication, as well as improve their spatial awareness. Each programmed sequence thus becomes a small challenge that helps them think step-by-step and anticipate the result of the moves they set.

The operating mode is simple: children can easily program Jack to move forward one step at a time, move left or right, move backward one step at a time, make a sound, or repeat a step or a sequence of steps. When a sequence has been programmed, you just have to press "transmit" and wait for Jack to come to life and execute the various moves. Children can create a step-by-step path for Jack using the 30 double-sided coding cards.

The mouse has LED lights on top to indicate the direction of movement and features two speeds. It operates with 3 AAA batteries, not included in the set, and instructions are included in the box. Jack can also be used with the LER2831 set for more play options, which is purchased separately.
