Bee-Bots
Description
Bee-Bot robots are designed for use with younger students. Students create a code by entering directional codes to move bee-bot forward, back, left, or turn 90 degrees. Bee-Bot blinks and beeps after each command, allowing students to easily follow along with the sequence of code they created. Typically, lessons include a 6x6 inch grid mat for bee-bot to travel on, and students will have to accomplish a task or solve a problem by moving the Bee-Bot through the grid.
Resources
The county set includes a class set of bee-bots, bull dozers, pens, grid boards, and snakes and ladders game boards.
