Bee-Bot

Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to introduce a child you know to coding? Bee-Bot is the perfect starting point! This simple, yet versatile robot helps young learners develop problem-solving skills while having fun with basic programming concepts. Bee-Bot encourages children to learn coding by programming it to move toward the correct answer on a flat surface. For example, children can ask a question like, “What letter comes after A?”, and lay out the possible answers on the floor. Children can then program Bee-Bot to take the correct route to reach the answer—building important skills in sequencing, logic, and problem-solving along the way. Bee-Bot makes learning fun and interactive while introducing early coding concepts like directional commands and sequencing. Whether it’s math, letters, sounds, word recognition, or geography, the learning possibilities are endless! Adults will love how easy it is to adapt the difficulty level of the questions and answer choices to suit a child’s needs, making it a great tool for differentiated learning. The simple design and user-friendly interface make Bee-Bot a great way to engage little ones with STEM concepts in a playful way. As children play, they’ll not only learn how to program, but also how to think critically and creatively—skills that will benefit them in the classroom and beyond. -Reviewer Jennifer Heap
