Description
The Rugged Robot Coral Reef Mat is a 120 x 120cm coding mat that takes your robot for a swim — and opens up rich cross-curricular links to oceans, ecosystems and sustainability.
Details and ideas:
- 120 x 120cm mat featuring coral fish, coral bleaching and a broken ship mast (which links to the Treasure Island mat)
- Litter the reef with plastics and ask how long different rubbish takes to biodegrade
- Program Rugged Robot to collect the rubbish and clean the reef
What students practise: directional language, sequencing and debugging, alongside conversations about conservation and the environment. Supported by lesson ideas in the Rugged Robot Activity Book.
