Robot Path

What your child learns

• Early coding: plan a sequence first, then run it
• Telling up, down, left and right apart on a grid
• Counting steps and finding a way around obstacles
• Finding and fixing the mistake when the robot bumps
• A "repeat 2 times" block in harder levels: shorter code, same steps

How to play

1. Look at the board: the robot, the apple and the rocks.
2. Tap the arrow buttons to add commands to the strip. Tap a command to remove it, or use remove-last and clear-all.
3. Press "Go": the robot follows the commands one step at a time.
4. If the robot bumps a rock or the edge, the command that caused it turns red; fix it and run again. Reach the apple to move on.

For parents

• Have your child trace the route with a finger before adding arrows.
• The board grows from 3×3 to 5×5, with more rocks and detours.
• After the second miss, dots on the board show the shortest path.
• On a computer, arrow keys add commands and Backspace removes the last one.
