Bee-Bot Emulator and App

The Online Emulator

The Bee-Bot Online Emulator allows for learning outside the classroom. It gives children the opportunity to brainstorm and develop their basic logic skills outside of the classroom, as opposed to mindlessly consuming content. Watch as children engage with Bee-Bot and anticipate it’s appearance in the classroom.

Teachers can use this to display on the white board to engage the whole class with Bee-Bot with this online resource!

The Bee-Bot App

The Bee-Bot App, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store allows children to use bee-bot on their personal device such as tablets or smart phones.

The app is designed to introduce young children to basic programming. It involves controlling the movements of the 'Bee-Bot' by entering a sequence of commands (forwards, backwards, left/right 90-degree turns). Once the 'go' button is pushed, the 'Bee-Bot' carries out the sequence to perform a task, such as finding a flower​.

The app allows children to develop spatial awareness and an understanding of directional language and concepts. As the movements of the 'Bee-Bot' need to be pre-programmed before it moves, this requires children to visualize the sequence of the 'Bee-Bot' in advance. This can enhance their spatial reasoning and planning skills​.

The game allows for multiple tries. After each sequence of movements is executed by the 'Bee-Bot', it can then be cleared and a new sequence put in. This helps children develop persistence and encourages them to keep trying to improve their skills​.

Each of the 12 available levels are timed and become progressively more difficult as the user completes them. The faster each one is completed the more 'stars' the user can earn as a reward. This provides a motivational component to keep children engaged and striving to improve​.

However, it's worth noting that the app could potentially be difficult for some children to use correctly, causing frustration. Therefore, parental or adult support may be beneficial to help young children understand the instructions and get the most from the app​.
