CodingCourse Quest Kit
Gamify screenless coding activities for elementary students as they write code to advance a mouse and avoid cats!
An arcade-like game format adds excitement and activity to unplugged coding lessons. Start by splitting the class into 2 teams and assigning each to a grid mat. The programming team places the 4 cats in random cells on their grid. They also place the 10 cheese spots on the coding team’s grid, making sure to avoid cells that would overlap with a cat on the programming mat. The coding team attempts to write a code that helps them collect each piece of cheese. If they run into a cat, the programming team alerts the coding team, and they must rewrite their code to get around it. Play continues until the team successfully codes their way to collect all pieces of cheese.
Poly spot pieces are long-lasting and add a pop of color to mats. Durable vinyl mats are easy to clean and fold for storage. Kit includes 15 poly spots (8” dia; 4 cats, 1 mouse, 10 cheese), 2 mats (8’L x 8’W), and lesson directions. Themed poly spots are available separately for use with your existing CodingCourse mats. Accommodates 12 students. Recommended for Elementary and up.
