Get the mouse through the maze to get the cheese.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Code & Go Robot Mouse activity set is an all inclusive kit for primary aged kids (ages 5 - 9) to learn basic coding concepts and develop logical thinking skills.

We've got some old-style BeeBots at home, and this Robot Mouse, known as Colby, is a great upgrade with a few extra features which we'll write about in this review. I'll draw a few comparisons with BeeBot as many schools already have them and may want to consider an upgrade!

Disclaimer: Learning Resources sent us a Code & Go Robot Mouse Activity Set to review. This is not a sponsored post and our views are always our own.

Unboxing

The Code & Go Robot Mouse activity set comes with 1 blue robot (mouse), 16 x green squares to make the board, purple plastic maze walls, orange bridges and a wedge of cheese. There's also lots of sequence cards and several double sided coding activity cards.

Unfortunately the box, as nicely packaged as it is, isn't suitable for storage. We've come up with a plan to keep your activity kit together and safely stored away when not in use.

Colby, the maze walls, sequence cards and cheese fits perfectly into a small IKEA storage box (GLIS with a lid) and then everything else, plus this little box fits into the IKEA SAMLA 11 transparent box with lid.

We're a little obsessed with keeping all our tech neatly stored away, ready for another time when kids want to play and learn.

Additional Robot Mouse

There's also a purple mouse, named Jack, which we love incidentally, but it's sold separately and you can't select an activity kit with a purple mouse! You'll get 30 more sequencing tiles with this programmable robot mouse. Why not have the option to choose one or the other in the kit? Does all robots have to be blue?

You can use two mice with one activity set, by either racing them or getting children to help each other's mouse out with coding. The mice won't interact with each other.

Getting Started

The Code & Go Kit doesn't require a tablet to work, and it needs 3 AAA batteries (rechargeables are fine), which aren't included. If your robot isn't quite making a 90 degree turn when left / right is pressed, it probably means you need new batteries.

The coding activity cards included, means you can start playing immediately by following the pictorial instructions. My 6 and 8 year old put Colby through its paces and really liked all the cute squeaky mouse sounds. Colby's eyes also flashes blue when he finds his cheese. Even our dog Ruby was fascinated by this cute little mouse.

Don't tell the kids - let them discover this. The cheese has a magnet inside and when Colby's nose touches it, he's activated to play a sound. My kids were very excited when they discovered this feature.

Code Colby, by pressing the buttons on his body in a specific sequence and then press the middle green button to get Colby to move. The yellow button cancels everything, and the red button is to code an "action", which is shown as a lightning strike on the activity cards.

It's a really good idea to get younger kids to use the sequencing cards to work out their code first and then programme it into Colby. It's easy to press the wrong button, which means you have to start from the beginning of the sequence again. Remember to press yellow to cancel!

Colby operates exactly like a BeeBot. The only difference is the action button and the reed switch in his nose, to play the sound when he touches the cheese.

The Maze

I really like the maze. It's fantastic for developing spatial awareness and logical thinking skills. The maze can be built in a variety of ways using the 16 square tiles. If you look carefully, there is an easy and logical way to build, when you lay all the tiles in the same direction. It's a similar concept as Simbrix.

The boys enjoyed building the maze just as much, if not more, as programming the robot mouse. You can either follow the activity cards or design your own. Use the maze walls to create traps and dead-ends and bridges to guide Colby in a certain direction.

You don't have to only use Colby on the maze, the robot mouse can venture off on other floor types and homemade mazes - like the one we made for Ozobot. The robot mouse moves 12.5cm for every forward or backward movement - just in case you want to make your own!

Why get Colby if we already have BeeBot?

Well it, kinda depends what BeeBot you have. If you have an old style (yellow and black) BeeBot, you may enjoy an upgrade with Colby. There's a bit more you can do and the set comes with great resources.

If, however you have the newer Blue-Bot, Colby may feel similar. The Blue-Bot does however require a connection with a iOS or Andriod tablet to access its full functionality.

If you're looking for a screen-less introduction to coding concept for young kids - Code & Go Robot Mouse is a great option.

Verdict

This STEM kit and programmable robot is a brilliant choice for families looking for a screen-less toy that is educational and fun. Colby is endearing and can be used without the maze, which means a kid can code it anywhere (but maybe not outside in the dirt).

Colby also is a fab upgrade choice for schools, looking to replace old style BeeBots.

Robot Mouse is recommended for ages 5-9, but we think it would be suitable for younger kids too. The basic coding concept are not far off from those learnt using Cubetto, which is recommended for ages 3+.

Frequently asked questions

Is coding good for kids?

We're living during a high-tech revolution, witnessing life-changing advancements in medicine, environmental conservation, and much more. At the core of all these amazing projects and discoveries is CODE. Code can be the thing that differentiates your child from peers and allows them to stand out as an asset for companies when they are looking for employment. The children who learn to code today will become the creators of the technology tomorrow. Learning how to code can help children make a major contribution to the world that they live in and make a lasting impact.

As kids and teens learn to code, they also build essential skills like critical thinking, logic, and problem-solving. They learn to logically sequence events, create playable games, tell good stories, and model real situations. They also learn computational thinking by developing algorithmic and design thinking abilities. Coding for kids has become an essential element of a child's education and an excellent way to express their creativity and imagination.

How do I start my child coding?

Coding, otherwise known as programming, is a creative activity for all children. Your child might not care about writing data processing algorithms, but they might enjoy creating games, programming music, designing websites, or just playing with code. Learning to code is for everyone; you don't have to be good at math or a "techie" to learn how to code. Kids as young as five can learn to code and pick it up faster than most adults.

When your kids are starting, pick a program like MIT's Scratch or Tynker Junior app. The visual style of these programs makes it easy for young children to learn to code. Scratch and Tynker have a graphical interface that works. Drag-and-drop code blocks snap together. Pieces of code that don\'t make computational sense won't fit together, making syntax errors impossible.

Older children can learn to code with Python by building games, art, music, and more. Some programs like Tynker offer a placement test to set your child on the right track for their age and experience level.

What age is best to introduce coding to kids?

Every child learns at their own pace. They can learn different subjects at varying rates and ways. Experts believe that children should learn coding at an early age. According to MIT, the best age for kids to start learning coding languages such as Scratch Jr or Tynker Jr is from 5 to 7. Many programs allow your children to progress at their own pace or hire an instructor to help them move along.

With Tynker, a placement test will place your child on the correct path based on age and skill level, and Tynker supports children up to age 18 with real-world text languages like Python and JavaScript. Children progress to more difficult coding courses with the support of interactive tutorials and video instructions at their own pace.

Which is the best coding for kids program?

With so many great services available, learning to code has never been easier! For example, Scratch and Tynker provide innovative visual coding languages that make coding fun. Coding is a great way to broaden your child's worldview and develop their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Here are a few coding for kids options to review:

Game-based learning -Game-based platforms such as Tynker and the challenges on Code.org motivate kids to use code to complete game levels.

Independent learning with Scratch -Scratch from MIT is a great way of getting started with code. Although they don't have courses, there's a vibrant community to learn from.

Online courses-Enroll in a Python or JavaScript course on Codecademy or Tynker or learn to code with Processing on Khan Academy. Tynker offers advanced courses like Processing 1, using p5.js to introduce the foundational concepts of art and computer science.

Build an app-Learn to build your own iOS app using Swift. Install the Swift Playgrounds app by Apple.

Use a book-Learn by following along with books like Mission Python, Super Scratch Programming Adventure, or Coding with Minecraft. Tynker has a series of super-informative coding activity books, including Code These Games, Code These Minecraft Mods, and Code This Art.

Why is coding needed?

Coding is the method of giving a computer instructions to perform a specific task. You may also hear coding referred to as software programming or computer programming. These instructions are communicated using a language that computers can understand, like visual blocks, JavaScript and Python.

Coding for kids lays the groundwork for our world's technology, from microprocessors in everyday items like refrigerators and water heaters to sophisticated programs that run our cars and buildings. Learning to code is a great opportunity for children of all ages to develop their problem-solving and critical thinking skills, while building the necessary focus and organization to see projects through to completion.

Coding usually begins with drag-and-drop visual programming in which children connect blocks together to make programs. Visual programming teaches the fundamental concepts without typing or syntax by placing the focus on the logic behind the code. Once they've learned the basics, children can transition to real-world programming languages like Python, JavaScript, and C.

From online coding courses and games to offline learning, from in-person coding instruction to live online tutoring, there are endless coding resources available. The best coding platforms and programs like Scratch, Code.org and Tynker give children of all ages and experience levels the ability to code while making the process fun and engaging.

Why should we use Tynker coding for kids?

Tynker is the world's number one coding platform for children ages 5 to 18 for a reason-it works! Tynker powers the creativity of over 100 million students and serves thousands of schools and educators worldwide.

Tynker's award-winning, gamified courses and coding for kids activities encourage kids to complete projects as they have fun, allowing them to progress from novices to experts using languages like Python. Tynker's interactive lessons have built-in tutorials for all ages and skill levels. Our highly-rated mobile app (4.7 stars) lets students take Tynker on the go. Learning how to code with Tynker unlocks and empowers children's creativity, teaching them life-long skills they can use today and into the future.

How do I teach my 7 year old code?

Learning to code is for everyone; you don't have to be good at math or a "techie" to learn how to code. Kids as young as five can learn to code and pick it up faster than most adults. Tynker Junior is a fun, interactive way to spark your kid's interest in coding. Kids (ages 5-7) learn coding basics by connecting picture blocks to move their characters. Tynker's immersive game-like coding courses and interactive lessons with built-in tutorials are perfect for beginners 5+ through experts 18+.

What options are there for coding for teens?
