Robotics is a subject that teaches essential Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) topics through the operation of Robots.
A robot is a programmable machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically.
Robotics is increasingly taught in schools as an engaging way of developing key programming and coding skills that will help children succeed in a technology-driven world.
Bee-Bots is an exciting programmable floor robot for Early Years & Lower Primary. Its child friendly layout appeals to children and it is a perfect starting point for teaching control, directional language and programming to young children. This open-ended resource allows teachers to use the Bee-Bots as a tool to enhance learning in Literacy, Science & Numeracy through a multitude of activities.
Here is a folder of BeeBot Resources that we have used at CSNS before. They include a number of Maths activities and Maze challenges with a focus on introducing kids to Algorithms.
VEX 123 is an interactive, programmable robot that takes Computer Science and Computational Thinking off of the screen and brings them to life.
