## Description

Introducing Bee-Bot, the programmable floor robot. Bee-Bot will bring logic-driven decision making, the very nature of programming, to your student. They can program the BeeBot via the app (all platforms supported) or using the in-built controls to create their own movement based programs and scripts.

**Note:** To minimise e-waste the charging dock does not come with a USB wall charger. If you don't already have a drawer full of spares at home pick up a [suitable USB wall adaptor](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-mains-mini-power-adaptor.html) separately.

- **This set comes with a charging dock station**
- **Interactive Coding** - Using the buttons on the Bee-bots shell, you can enter a sequence of directions and have the Bee-bot perform your 'program'. Great for critical thinking development.
- **40 step programs** - With the buttons on the top of the Bee-Bot you can program sequences up to 40 movements long, which educators tell us is plenty for most tasks.
- **Straightforward Movements** - The Bee-Bot will move in blocks of 15cm movements accurately and turn 90 degrees at a time.
- **Rechargeable, Reusable** - The Bee-Bot comes with a USB cable for recharging, but is completely compatible with Bee-Bot docking stations.
- **Teaching Materials and Resources** - Bee-bot is compatible with all the mats and accessories (and Learning Resources) from Bee-Bot programmable robots.
 
### Using Bee-Bots in the Classroom

Once you're familiar with the Bee-Bot controls, you can set forth on planning some lessons around it! Some great ideas we've seen are:

1. Using the project mats and obstacles, work in teams to program Bee-Bot from one side of the mat to the other.
2. Using a blank mat/floor space, have students program Bee-Bot to draw different shapes in groups
3. Have a maze group and a Bee-bot group. The maze group designs a maze on paper that the challenge group has to program Bee-bot to navigate.
4. Use Bee-Bot to create and traverse a number line and do basic addition subtraction
5. Estimation techniques (how many BeeBot steps from A to B)
 
Here's a short video from the team behind Bee-Bot on how you can introduce it to the classroom:
