What are Bee Bots?

Bee Bots are an exciting new programmable floor robot. The Bee-Bot’s simple and child friendly layout 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 of curriculum content and processes such as literacy (including story telling, recount), Science (including experiments, problem solving) and Numeracy (including sequencing, counting, direction, estimation)
