This class pack is a great cross-curricular resource to integrate Digital Technologies with fun and engaging coding activities, and teach programming and control to Kindergarten to Middle Primary students.

Use this Bee-Bot Sensor Kit to add interactivity and engagement to your programming challenges, and expand the possibilities of adventures of your Blue-Bot Adventures.

The Blue-Bot Robot Sensors Bundle includes;

6 Blue-Bots
1 Blue-Bot Docking Station for each Bot
1x Blue-Bot Tactile Reader and Tiles
4x Robot Sensor
1x Robot Sensor Fronts
1x Modular Road

The sensors will detect movement up to 15cm in front of it, and play audio which can be pre-recorded by the students or teachers. Movement will also trigger an LED to turn on which is on an extended stalk to act as a street light.

Transform your Robot Sensors into a market stall or a shop with this pack of 10 sensor fronts. Designed to make your programming challenge more interactive, these fronts are ideal to be used alongside a wide range of Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot Mats.

The new and improved Blue-Bot is perfect for teaching control, directional language and programming. because you can code and control Blue-Bot in four ways;

Use Blue-Bots on-board buttons for basic controls, which will enable Blue-Bot to act the same as a Bee-Bot.
Use Blue-Bots TacTiles to create more complex screen free programming, then use the Blue-Bot TacTile Reader to upload the algorithms for Blue-Bot to actuate.
Use Blue-Bots App to utilize more complex coding opportunities whereby you create your program on screen and send it remotely for Blue-Bot to perform the program.
Control Blue-Bot remotely using the App on a Android, iOS, Mac, or Windows device.

Key Features of the New Blue-Bot

Blue-Bot (and Bee-Bot) now have sensors and can detect other Bots.
Blue-Bot (and Bee-Bot) now have the capability to record and play back audio. The recording is played back to confirm when commands are entered and when Blue-bot follows the command.
Blue-bots has a clear shell, which means children can see inside Blue-Bot and understand which components perform which duties, for example, where is the power stored?
Using the app, Blue Bot can now perform 45 degree turns alongside the traditional 90 degree turns which means children can program Blue-Bot to draw a variety of different shapes.
You can still use Blue Bot like your normal Bee-Bot, by programming on the robot itself.

The Blue-Bot App

The Blue-Bot app enables you to write an algorithm, send it to your Blue-Bot, and then Blue-Bot will follow your instructions. The Blue-Bot App has two modes;

Explore Mode allows children to explore the wonders of programming through an open ended coding environment.
Challenge Mode presents puzzles for the children to complete.

The Blue-Bot App also makes classroom management as easy as possible too - by allowing you to rename each and every Blue-Bot to give it its own character. The Blue-Bot App includes numerous activities which make writing algorithms both fun and educational, including:

Use explore mode to develop algorithms: Step by step programming. Drag and drop programming. Include repeats to add efficiency.
Challenge mode will add complexity into the algorithm: Blue-Bot will add random obstacles, adding complexity to the algorithm needed One or even two directional buttons can be removed
Children can also record themselves saying a command and can assign it to a button on Blue-Bot. As the algorithm progresses, they will hear themselves giving the instructions.

Other Useful Features of Blue-Bot Include:

Rechargeable and fits on the Bee-Bot Docking Stations
USB cable provided for recharging
Compatible with your existing Bee-Bot Mats and accessories (such as shells, pushers, pen holders etc
