Bee-Bot
- Designed for children over 3 years of age
- Step-by-step programming using buttons on the robot (memory for over 200 steps)
- Infrared sensor for detecting and communicating with other Bee-Bots and Blue-Bots
- Option to record a custom 2-second sound on each button
- LED lights and speaker for feedback
Bee-Bot is a programmable robot with simple controls, making it a great tool for teaching basics, developing logical thinking, spatial awareness, planning, and basic math skills. With its help, children can better understand algorithms and create and test their own simple programs.
Ideal for children from 3 years old
Bee-Bot is suitable for use in kindergartens and primary schools. It helps students develop spatial awareness by imagining the best path for the robot to reach a target point. Later, Bee-Bot can assist when learning about animals, the alphabet, basic math, geography, or human body structure.
Bee-Bot is a useful helper in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
Bee-Bot can remember over 200 steps
On the robot's back are command buttons (forward, backward, turn 90° left or right), pause, clear program, and OK to confirm. Children need to imagine the path they want their Bee-Bot to take and then program it by pressing the correct arrows. Pressing OK starts the program and allows them to check for mistakes.
Bee-Bot moves in 15 cm steps, turns 90°, and remembers over 200 steps, which, together with various mats and accessories, provides plenty of space for creative tasks.
Interaction with other robots and more
For feedback, Bee-Bot is equipped with a speaker and LED lights, making it accessible even for children with special hearing or visual needs.
The robot can also use its infrared sensor to detect another Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot nearby and greet it. During the greeting, it flashes and plays a default sound, or students can record their own 2-second message.
Diverse accessories
With a wide range of accessories, from various types of mats and obstacles to fun extras like a plow or pen holder, Bee-Bot is an ideal programming assistant for any classroom.
Enrich lessons with a wide range of themed mats covering subjects from math and geometry to nature, transport, and languages. For even more creativity, use transparent mats of different sizes to insert your own images and tasks – perfect for tailoring lessons to specific topics or age groups.
Practical classroom sets are ideal for schools, containing multiple robots and accessories so you can start group programming right away. They allow for interactive lessons where children learn to communicate and explore in a playful, natural, and enthusiastic way.
Bee-Bot App
The app is not designed to control the robot but allows children to improve programming skills through a game with 12 difficulty levels. The faster they complete a task, the more stars they earn.
The app is free to download and available for iOS and Android.
Rechargeable battery
Bee-Bot is powered by a built-in battery that can be easily recharged via the included USB cable. When fully charged, Bee-Bot lasts up to 6 hours of regular use (about 2 hours of continuous use). If completely discharged, a full recharge can take up to 4 hours.
To save energy, Bee-Bot has a sleep mode that activates after 2 minutes of inactivity. Press any button to wake it up. In sleep mode, it consumes very little power, so the battery lasts longer.
To charge multiple robots at once, you can use the docking station, which can charge up to 6 Bee-Bots simultaneously and also serve as storage.
Playful learning: Step-by-step coding for children from 3 years old
Step robots are excellent tools for introducing children from 3 years old to technology and logical thinking. Simple commands like "forward," "turn," or "stop" allow children to grasp basic algorithmic thinking, planning, and spatial orientation in a playful way.
Robots respond immediately to commands, supporting learning from mistakes, thinking in context, planning steps, and problem-solving. Children are naturally motivated to explore and learn without needing to read or write – entirely intuitively and through play.
A major advantage of these robots is their accessibility: children program using the buttons on the robot itself, not a screen. This promotes active learning and fine motor skill development. Instead of passively watching a display, children actively participate, collaborate, and learn to communicate.
Robots can also be easily integrated into various educational activities, from working with colors, shapes, and numbers to storytelling. Teachers will appreciate their simple operation, quick setup, and versatility across different topics.
