Bee-Bot® Programmable Robot

Bee-Bot

Bee-Bot is an engaging classroom robot for early-age kids to learn STEM with a variety of cross-curricular activities. It’s a Bee-shaped robot, yellow in color with controls to move forward/backward and turn left/right. It teaches kids ages 3+ about controls, directions, algorithms, sequencing, estimation, and basic programming too! It’s a perfect first robot for kids to get familiar with the rudiments of robotics & robot components itself.

With a wide range of cross-curricular mats and activity tins to program with and fun accessories to personalize, Bee-Bot® is the must-have programming resource for ages 3-8. Using a memory of 200 steps, Bee-Bot moves in 15 cm increments and does 90-degree turns. Supplied with a USB cord, Bee-Bot can be recharged via either your computer or a wall socket with a USB mains adapter (not included). Bee-Bot app is now available in Google Play and App Store. The Bee-Bot app makes use of the Bee-Bot keypad functionality and enables children to improve their skills in directional language and programming.

Sturdy construction and colorful design entice children to put Bee-Bot through its paces. Directional keys are used to enter up to 40 commands which send Bee-Bot forward, back, left, and right. Pressing the green GO button starts Bee-Bot on its way. Bee-Bot blinks and beeps at the conclusion of each command to allow children to follow Bee-Bot through the program they have entered and then confirm its completion with lights and sound. Children want to use Bee-Bot over and over and are inspired to enter ever more creative and complex command sequences.

We offer a Bee-Bot Tech Coach Playbook packed with free resources to get you started on your journey.

Bee-Bot can now detect another Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot® and say hello. It will play a default sound, or students can record their own. Students can also record audio to play back when each button is pressed, making it more accessible to all students, including those with auditory or visual processing needs.
