Teaching Method
Traditional
Teacher-centered curriculum commonly used in classrooms that may include a text, teacher manual, tests, etc.
Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Description
Have fun interacting with this STEM experiment kit, featuring a color-sensing and self-moving robot. Arrange the puzzle piece-shaped tiles according to the illustration in the instruction manual for the desired challenge, and then solve the missing pieces for Huey to complete the challenge. The challenge book only shows track lines, but the user must correctly place direction tiles into the track that the robot must follow to finish. This activity introduces coding concepts and helps develop logic and problem-solving skills. The provided challenge book includes 18 challenges with 4 levels of difficulty. 42 more challenges can be found online by scanning the QR code in the instruction manual with a smartphone camera. Includes 81 map tiles, 32 disc tiles, Huey the robot, suction cup for removing discs, and instruction manual. Requires 3 AAA batteries and small Phillips-head screwdriver, items not included. Huey stands approximately 5" tall. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of Huey: The Line-Tracking, Color-Sensing Robot
Learn to code with Huey, your color-sensing robot pal. This kit offers kids a hands-on, screen-free introduction to the world of robotics and coding. With a built-in color sensor, Huey navigates around maps that you create using 81 puzzle-shaped tiles. Huey recognizes the colors of the 32 coding discs, which tell it whether to turn right, turn left, or continue straight. Huey makes fun sounds and movements as it travels around the map, revving its engine as it gets started, and doing a little dance when it reaches home.
Huey can be muted for quiet play. Build one of the 18 maps included in the full-color, 16-page challenge book and figure out where to place the coding discs to help Huey find its way home. Make sure to watch out for the red ghosts! If you hit one, you'll have to debug your code and try again. There are four levels of challenges, which are appropriate for kids ages 5 and up. The size of the map grows with the difficulty of the challenge. Beginner maps use nine map tiles, while advanced ones use all 81 tiles! You can also create your own maps and then challenge your friends to solve them. The possibilities are virtually infinite! Learn about how Huey's color sensor works in the full-color, 4-page instruction manual. A bonus online challenge book includes more than 40 additional challenges — 60 challenges in all! Can you solve them all? Huey does not require a computer, tablet, or smartphone to operate.
