Multi-Mat sessions
Most mats provide for multiple points of entry so that multiple teams can participate. This also reduces the element of teams copying each other’s code, as the variables are slightly different.
A good teacher will constantly shift the goal posts as teams become more proficient in solving the challenge. This keeps them on their toes and engaged in applying their knowledge in a fun way.

Displaying Mats
The mats contain a wealth of information and can be displayed on the walls of the classroom rather than being locked away in a cupboard for another time.
