Bee-Bot is an exciting new robot designed for use by young children. This colorful, easy-to-operate, and friendly little robot is a perfect tool for teach-ing sequencing, estimation, problem-solving, and just having fun! Bee-Bot brings fun and excite-ment into the classroom while inspiring learn-ing. Students are anxious to learn how Bee-Bot works and want to make the robot move. They are soon trying ever more ambitious paths and pro-grams and learning directions, planning, sequenc-ing, and working together while having fun. By motivating students, Bee-Bot can be used to intro-duce and teach a wide range of subjects and en-hance student skills in many areas.
