Navigating a maze
Create a set of clear instructions to navigate a maze path
This is one of a series of resources to support the use of the BBC micro:bit in Design and Technology lessons.
Programmable robotic systems are becoming an important part of industrial developments in Design and Technology. Robots are now being developed that can sense changes in their surroundings and respond accordingly.
In this unit of learning, learners will use the BBC micro:bit to develop a robotic buggy that can successfully navigate a maze or path.
Activity info, teachers' notes and curriculum links
In this activity, learners will create a set of clear instructions to help their partner navigate a maze path.
The activity sheet includes teachers' notes, useful web links, and links (where appropriate) to the national curriculum in each of the four devolved nations; England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

All activity sheets and supporting resources are free to download, and all the documents are fully editable, so you can tailor them to your students' and your schools' needs.
