Description
#SizzlingSTEM2 "This is my absolute favorite robot resource. Students loved to make their own maze and try to get their Sphero through it. It was wonderful for kids to work on teamwork and problem-solving skills."
"In one word, "WOW!" My students are obsessed with this product!"
Tired of taping mazes all over your floors? Not sure what to do with your class set of robots? Save the tape for STEM challenges and use these coding maze cards instead. Use your robots like Dash, Cue, Sphero, BeeBot, Finch, and Code and Go Mouse with purpose!
The Problem with Tape
After you create one masking tape maze on the floor and it's been solved by your students, then what? What if I told you there is a way to have an endless supply of reconfigurable tracks and mazes at your disposal?
➡️➡️➡️ Enter Maze Craze! This resource is SO simple to use and my kids always have a BLAST creating their own mazes.
How does it work?
Just print and go! Use the provided maze tasks or create your own. I have included various ways to differentiate for your students based on their coding abilities and the robots you already have.
When should I use Maze Craze?
This resource is great for Hour of Code, STEM Fridays, Maker Mondays, or after school STEM and robotics clubs. These tasks can be completed independently or in small groups.
✅ What You'll Get ✅
- 20 Main Tasks (10 set tracks, 10 choose-your-own path)
- 10 Beginner Tasks
- Recording Pages
- Printable, modular track pieces which can be used with any programmable moving robot* (if using a robot such as Bee Bot or Code and Go Mouse that have discrete distances, you will simply print the cards at a smaller scale). Create the tracks from the task cards or create your own.
- Differentiation ideas to make these activities fun for all.
- Mini pieces to design your own tracks in a hands-on way first.
- DIGITAL design studio to create as many tasks as you or your students would like.
- Digital version of the tasks if you would rather not print them out (save paper and ink!) - use with Google Slides (you can download any Google Slides presentation to PowerPoint).
Benefits of Maze Craze:
- Students work through the coding process in a meaningful way. ✅
- Mazes are self-paced and can be completed independently. ✅
- There are digital versions included! That means you can use the digital design studio to create even more mazes. ✅
- The cards are easy to print and transport. ✅
- These are appropriate for kids of all ages and work with a variety of robots (to name a few: Dash, Sphero, Cue, Finch, Bee Bots, Code and Go Mouse, Ozobots* I also have an Ozobot-specific resource linked below). ✅
- Want to make a really long and challenging track? Just print more cards. ✅
See how it works in the video preview above.
Looking for a similar resource just for Ozobots?
Using Bee Bots?
A very lovely teacher let me know that if you print the cards at 71.4% size they are just the right size for Bee Bots!
Teacher Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This is my absolute favorite robot resource. Students loved to make their own maze and try to get their sphero through it. It was wonderful for kids to work on teamwork and problem-solving skills."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My students LOVED this activity for use with our Spheros. We printed multiple copies of the sheets, and any time they finish their work, they would get a stack of track and create a maze for the robots."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "In one word, "WOW!" My students are obsessed with this product! We have slowly been adding more robot/coding activities and this was such a great way for us to begin! Thank you for sharing your resource with us!!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"My students loved the pre-made maze plans for Sphero to get through. They really loved making their own mazes using the included pieces. Great resource!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "So smart. Way better than tape on the floor - now my custodians won't get mad at me anymore for leaving residue on the carpet :)"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We used these mazes with our Dash and our Sphero robots. My 3rd and 4th grade STEM students LOVED using them! Their favorite was building their own mazes. What I like is how this resource gives options to differentiate. Some classes needed to follow the already-created mazes and some were fine making their own."
