Bee Bots are cute sturdy programmable robots designed for use by very young children. Learning to control a physical object using commands is an excellent introduction to computational thinking and early programming skills. Students learn to break down a task into smaller steps, understand the importance of ordering instructions, learn to work collaboratively and have fun. Bee Bots lessons work with many areas - numbers, letters and more.
Terrapin Logo offers excellent lesson plans, mats and more.
