 This activity with the Ladybugs and Thunderbolts is week one in the creation of mazes. Choosing between many materials, Bumblebees and their buddies had to design and engineer their mazes, create them from available materials, rethink and rework as needed. Once students had what they considered to be a working maze, they tested it with a marble, then revised and reworked again. Once they have a successful maze, part 2 will be to use Hexbugs (little robotic bugs) to try their mazes and see if they can fined a way through.
