Creating algorithms with Bee Bots

The Bee-Bot’s child friendly layout is a perfect starting point for children to learn about control, directional language and programming.

To understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions.

To create and debug simple programs.

To use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs.

To design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts.

Photon

We are delighted with our new Photon Robots. Our School Excellence – Digital cluster has received the first of these robots to Ireland. Logical thinking ability is becoming an increasingly important skill and we know that children love to learn by experimenting. Photon gives children programming related challenges that allow them to develop their logical thinking ability while having great fun.

Fun with Bee-Bots

The children in our Junior Room have been getting to know our new, colourful, easy-to-operate and friendly little Bee-Bots. An award winning programmable floor robot, the Bee-Bot has a simple and child friendly layout and is the perfect starting point for teaching counting, sequencing, estimation, problem-solving , directional language and programming to young children.

 

 

Floor Robots

Bee-Bot is an exciting floor robot designed specifically for use by young children. This colorful and friendly little robot is a perfect tool for teaching sequencing, estimation, problem-solving, and just having fun! 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 confirms its completion with lights and sound. Children are inspired to enter ever more creative and complex command sequences.
