A three by three grid with a blue start dot and a flag

A grid you can touch

The blue dot is the start.

The flag is the goal.

The squares between are the path.

Raven the explorer with her wrist computer

What do you notice?

Raven traces her map first.

Slow finger first.

Fast feet second.

That is a plan!

Nova the drone-bird hovering with glowing eyes

Nova waits for your plan

Nova never guesses a path.

You plan it first.

Then Nova follows your squares.

TRACE THE PATH

Trace with your finger first. Then tap the squares from S to the star.
