- This programmable robot boosts learning through interaction with Bee-Bots and Blue-Bots, fostering teamwork and communication among learners.
- See & Say Features: Record each of the arrow keys to play back when entering a program or when Blue-Bot is following one.
- Blue-Bot See and Say can also detect and respond with either a beep or a pre-recorded message when encountering another See and Say Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot.
- This robot offers audio playback and a clear shell for an accessible, educational look into technology.
- Rechargeable with a free 6-pack docking station, it's an eco-friendly alternative to battery-powered robots.
See and Say Blue-Bot Bluetooth Enabled Programmable Floor Robot Class Pack - 6pcs Blue-Bots with FREE Docking Station with USB Cable
A programmable floor robot designed to introduce control and programming in an engaging way.
With Bluetooth-enabled functionality, this robot offers control via tablets or PCs, enhancing interactive learning.
This programmable floor robot introduces students to the world of coding and robotics in an interactive and engaging manner. With the capability to communicate with other Blue-Bots and Bee-Bots, it fosters teamwork and develops communication skills. Its transparent design allows learners to peek inside, sparking curiosity about how technology works.
The robot's Bluetooth-enabled connectivity enables seamless interaction with tablets, enriching the programming experience without compromising security, as the companion app does not collect personal data. Its rechargeable feature highlights an eco-friendly approach, reducing the reliance on disposable batteries.
Aligned with the Computing curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2, the robot serves as a practical tool for teaching programming, debugging, and algorithm understanding and has a memory of up to 200 steps. It encourages the development of critical computational thinking and problem-solving abilities, equipping learners for the digital age.
Supports the National Curriculum:
- Computing, Key Stage 1; Create and debug simple programs.
- Computing, Key Stage 1: Understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions.
- Computing, Key Stage 2: Design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems and solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts.
Take Blue-Bot to the next level by using the Blue-Bot app to create a program on screen and send it to Blue-Bot via the Bluetooth connection. Then watch as the actual Blue-Bot along with the one on the screen follows the program. If your code didn't do what you wanted, simply change the commands on screen and send the program again. Creating a program on-screen, sending it to Blue-Bot, and revising as desired provides an additional conceptual level of understanding that further develops algorithmic thinking skills.
The Blue-Bot app adds additional capabilities not available on Blue-Bot itself. These include 45° turns and repeating command sequences expanding learning opportunities provided by Blue-Bot. There is no charge for the Blue-Bot app which is available for iPads from the Apple Store and Android tablets from the Google Store (search for Blue-Bot) and for Windows and Mac software in the Terrapin Downloads section.
Take advantage of the hidden Blue-Bot capability to turn 45° left or right with the TacTile Code Reader and a set of Extension Tiles. Additionally, you can have Blue-Bot come off the bench and run it around the bases of the Baseball Mat, made specifically to challenge young coders!
