Bee-Bot® Robotics is for kindergarten classes in schools that already own Bee-Bot® robots: Profaqua leads the activity with your equipment and introduces the youngest students to robotics and coding, so the teacher does not have to lead it.
The activity happens in two steps: children handle the robot, then build the program that brings it to life, with or without an iPad. It runs over at least two 60-minute workshops in school, or up to 6 weeks of 60-minute workshops after school.
Your school already owns Bee-Bot® robots, but you don’t feel ready to introduce your students to robotics and coding yourself?
This is the project for you.
