Directional robots like BeeBots, BlueBots, and the mouse robot are excellent tools for introducing young learners to coding and robotics.

This Make Your Own Directional Robot Maze resource includes multiple elements to support engaging and hands-on coding activities.

What’s Included?

• A plain box/square designed to fit a single move of a directional robot (BeeBot tested).
• Images: Bee, beehive, flower, and pesticide/insectide.
• Directional Symbols: Forward, backwards, turn left, turn right, Go, Cancel/Stop, and Pause - matching the controls on a BeeBot robot.
• Learning Record/Coding Sheet: Students can draw their maze, document their code, and write an explanation or reflection - perfect for showcasing learning and assessment portfolios.

New Additions!

This resource now includes:
✅ Directions for Use – Step-by-step instructions on how to prepare and use the materials effectively.
✅ Lesson Tips & Ideas – Suggestions on how to integrate this activity into your classroom for maximum engagement and learning.

No Robots? No Problem!

If you don’t have directional robots in your classroom, you can still use this resource with toys like dolls, stuffed animals, or other objects to simulate movement. It’s also a great tool for unplugged coding activities.
