Atthe end of this process, the most mature kids will realize that it would be great if their LEGO figure could remember where he had already been so that he could systematically cover ground instead of seeming to wander aimlessly. This could motivate a discussion of more advanced programming concepts such as memory and stored variables.
This is literally so amazing! Glad that I read your blog & got to know such an interesting lego maze to teach coding for kids. Never imagined we can make kids understand coding concepts with the help of such fascinating games. In this digital age, making kids aware of different programming languages at early stage is definitely the need of the hour. I am pretty sure the activity which you have shared will be so much beneficial in creating a perfect foundation for kids in acquiring different coding concepts in a fun way. Thank you so much for sharing such a great article with us.
Games and activities like these can help kids develop many life essential skills. It can even make learning fun for kids and allows them to explore their creative side, Thanks for sharing these ideas!
I had my 4th and 5th grade students create their own Lego Maze right before our winter break and they had so much fun. They really got into it. We kept the coding concept simple and that really was pretty challenging. It was a good beginning for learning how to code. If you are doing multiple classes, at one time, over estimate the number of Legos needed. I had 4 classes and 3000+ Legos was not enough.
