Go Code! Ensemble d'activités

This set is very deceiving as it says it is for K and up. That makes people think it is just for primary aged students. However, I recently went to a conference where adults were using it and it was complicated. You can make this work for any age by adding more complex tasks. It is a great kinethetic intro to coding.

This is a great tool to teach kids easy coding and how to follow directions. The pieces are durable and bright colored. It is also a great game to teach team building and how to work together.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A fun way to introduction coding, a perfect pair with code and go mouse! Can be used over and over with many different solutions and is non consumable! A great way for. Hiked R.E.M. To learn and get up and moving around and become engaged!

When I received this item, I was really excited! My kids (9, 7, and 5) really love coding programs on the computer, so I thought they would really enjoy playing this game. The maze pieces are a bright and durable foam, which will be able to withstand daily use. The direction, robot, and extra challenge pieces are heavy duty cardboard, also sturdy. We haven't yet used any of the "special" coding challenge pieces; at this point, we are using basic directions and numbers of paces to get through the simple mazes. The kids are taking turns building/designing the maze (kid 1); decoding the maze (kid 2); and following kid 2's directions to the end of the maze (kid 3). It took a little coaxing on my part to get them started (maybe because they are already used to playing coding game on the computer), but now they're having fun directing each other and trying to find any mistakes that may have been made during the coding process. I think my favorite part watching my kids play was when my 5 year old tried making the code more difficult for the bigger kids! After they are all comfortable using the basic coding features, we will start adding in the extra challenges. There are several different suggestions within the instructions as to how to play, and over time we will likely try other versions. This is a game that can be played over and over for a long time, increasing the difficulty and changing the goals as the kids get more comfortable with the concept of coding. Also, kids often learn and retain information and concepts if they get to move and play while doing so; this activity set is perfect for allowing them to move and learn coding concepts simultaneously. Additionally, coding has become part of school curricula in many places, and in others an extra-curricular activity, and is also becoming more important as a life skill; so familiarizing kids with the concepts early will only help them in the future. I received this as part of an incentivized review program.
