Coding with Colby

Code & Go Robot Mouse

Welcome to our page!

Colby is an interactive coding mouse that targets students aged 5+. It requires students to use the provided Design Cards and guide Colby by coding him with 5 different steps from his start point to the cheese.

This lesson was created by three educators in the MAET program at Michigan State University as part of the Maker Movement.

Our goal when creating this was to give students an opportunity to explore and problem solve in a low stakes environment.

Lesson Plan

This lesson is tentatively planned for students from 2nd-6th grade. However, upper grades could also benefit from the sequencing practice.

Teachers, feel free to view and use our lesson plan that we created to teach Sequencing using Code & Go.
