An interactive hands on workshop designed to demonstrate to younger students how a robot really works!

Using a simple intuitive interface, students program the Beebot to move forward, turn, stop, flash lights and make sounds all within themed challenges designed to teach children planning and spatial awareness. Each Beebot can store up to 40 steps, with each step having flashing lights and sounds to confirm it is stored.
