The goal of Lightbot is to command a little robot to navigate a maze and turn on lights.[6] Players arrange symbols on the screen to command the robot to walk, turn, jump, switch on a light and so on. The maze and the list of symbols become more complicated as the lessons progress.[6] While using such commands, players learn programming concepts like loops, procedures and more, without entering code in any programming language.[6]
