Two teams of up to 4 students each go head-to-head as one team codes to move their spot marker from Start to Finish on the mat without hitting one of the bugs placed by the other team! Teams employ trial and error as they work together to write a successful coding pathway. With no screen time, these sets offer a more hands-on way to learn about coding. Durable vinyl mats (18” sq; 13 oz) stand up to frequent use. Poly vinyl bugs and spot markers (2.5” dia x 1/4” thick) add a fun pop of color to lessons.

Kit includes 4 bugs (1 ea red, yellow, blue, green), 2 spot markers (1 ea orange, purple), 2 mats, and lesson direction; entire set weighs 3 lb. Kit accommodates 8 students; Set of 4 accommodates 24 students. Recommended for Elementary and up.

CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards:

  • 1B-AP-08: Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task.

  • 1B-AP-10: Create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals.

  • 1B-AP-11: Decompose (break down) problems into smaller, manageable tasks.

  • 1B-AP-15: Test and debug (identify and fix errors) a program or algorithm to ensure it runs as intended.

  • 2-AP-10: Use flowcharts and/or pseudocode to address complex problems as algorithms.

  • 2-AP-12: Design and iteratively develop programs that combine control structures, including nested conditionals and loops.

  • 2-AP-17: Describe choices made during program development using code comments, presentations, and demonstrations.

The ISTE Standards:

  • ISTE 1.1.c: Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

  • ISTE 1.4.d: Students exhibit perseverance when working with open-ended problems.

  • ISTE 1.5.a: Students understand how automation works and use algorithmic thinking to develop a sequence of steps to create and test automated solutions.

  • ISTE 1.5.c: Students break problems into component parts, extract key information, and develop descriptive models to understand complex systems or facilitate problem-solving.
