Learning Resources STEM Mouse Robot Coding & Logic Set, 4 years+

The STEM set - The Mouse Robot from Learning Resources introduces children to the fascinating world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It is specifically designed to complement school activities and spark interest in STEM fields through play and direct experimentation.

With the help of this set, children will learn basic notions of logic and coding. They will have to program Colby the mouse to navigate through the maze to find the cheese, using direction cards and programming sequences. Each step helps them understand how a series of commands transforms into a complete path, laying the foundations for algorithmic thinking.

The game is also ideal for group activities, contributing to the development of analytical and critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication, as well as improving spatial awareness. Children can work together to build the maze using the green tiles, plastic walls, and tunnel pieces, and then program the mouse's path together.

The set includes 16 green tiles that form the base of the maze, 22 plastic maze walls, 3 tunnel pieces, 30 double-sided coding cards indicating the directions the mouse will follow, 10 double-sided activity cards containing sequences to program the path, Colby the mouse, and a cheese wedge. The instructions are in English, and Colby the mouse requires 3 AAA batteries, which are not included in the set. The size of the mouse is 10 cm.
