Bee-Bot is an exciting and specially designed robot tailored for young children. This friendly and colorful robot serves as a wonderful tool for teaching kids important skills like sequencing, estimation, problem-solving, and, most importantly, having fun!
One of Bee-Bot's standout features is its See & Say functionality, which gives the robot a voice and perception. With this feature, you can record each of the arrow keys to play them back when creating a program or when Bee-Bot is following one. Furthermore, Bee-Bot See & Say can detect and respond either with a beep or a pre-recorded message when it encounters another See & Say Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot.
Bee-Bot boasts sturdy construction and an attractive design that captivates children, encouraging them to explore its capabilities. Using directional keys, kids can input up to 40 commands, directing Bee-Bot to move forward, backward, left, and right. Pressing the green GO button sets Bee-Bot on its path. After each command, Bee-Bot blinks and beeps, allowing children to track its progress through the program they've created. Once the program is complete, Bee-Bot confirms its success with lights and sounds, sparking excitement and curiosity in kids to experiment with even more creative and complex command sequences.
