Bee-Bot is an exciting robot designed specifically for use by young children. This colorful, easy-to-operate, and friendly little robot is a perfect tool for teaching counting, sequencing, directionality, problem-solving, estimation, and just having fun!
A perfect starting point for teaching control, directional language and programming. It has a 256-step memory and can interact with other Bee-Bots or Blue-Bots to enhance collaborative learning.
Supporting auditory and visual processing needs through customisable audio feedback, this resource is designed to engage children in the fundamentals of programming and directional language. Children can record audio to play back when commands are entered, making learning more interactive and accessible.
Ideal for Key Stage 1, it introduces children to creating and debugging simple programs. With its ability to move accurately and turn precisely, it's an engaging way to teach logical reasoning. The wide range of cross-curricular mats and activity tins available extend its application across subjects, fostering an integrated learning experience.
Constructed from durable materials, it's rechargeable up to approximately 500 times, ensuring long-term use. The Bee-Bot App further enhances learning by bringing the tactile experience into the digital realm, allowing children to refine their skills in a familiar environment.
