CodeBug Conundrum

In preparation for December's week of "Hour of Code", we just received our first CodeBug in the shop. Ben and Felix spent a little time playing with it, but we're not really sure what to do with it.

What would you do or make with a CodeBug?

I love this! I do a lot of hands-on workshops with elementary aged kids and I think this would be a really fun project for them. I recently taught some 10 year-olds how to solder and they all took to it pretty quickly. I think most of them could probably handle this project.

What age or age group do you think would be ideal for this type of project? How young of a child do you think could handle understanding and executing the complexity of wiring the support boards, as well as programming the CodeBug?
