- Difficulty Level: Easy
- Target Audience: Elementary - College
- Duration of workshop: 30 - 60 minutes
- Needed Material: Cozmos, Cozmo app, One cube that comes with Cozmo, Phones or tablets with wifi connection, a maze
- The primary goal of this project is educating others about algorithms by programming a robot through a maze using the Cozmo app.
- Cozmo is a small robot that reacts to its enviornment and moves around by code you create in the app. The focus of the project is to teach students what an algorithm is and how it works while using interactive technology to pique their interest. The students will be asked to write a program that navigates a Cozmo inside a maze, retrieves a block, and returns it to the user.
- The Technology Ambassador Program (TAP) at GGC strives to break the misconceptions of the IT field by providing fun workshops for students of all backgrounds. TAP students design engaging and fun outreach workshops to encourage interest in IT and STEM.

Commented Code
Cozmo comes with a bunch of different activities that it is able to perform such as an Explorer Mode where the user can navigate it with the smart device connected, a visual programming mode where users are able to code Cozmo to do certain actions with block coding and much more.
