Robots are being used to teach coding and other critical skills in all grades. We are using them this year in our younger grades (Transitional Kindergarten through 1st grade).
I purchased a
BeeBot for our MakerCart. My
goal was to teach one technology lesson each quarter this year, using
the BlueBot and other tools.
I
asked our teachers if I could come to their class for a
15-minute lesson in September. I brought my BeeBot and the grid where I placed 4 shapes in 4
colors on the grid.
Now I was ready for my first class!
I explained that BeeBot would only where we told him to go. Gathering the children around, I asked the children to code the BeeBot by pressing the directional keys on top of the BeeBot.
Although
we didn't have time for everyone to have a
turn, they were engaged and loved having BeeBot come to visit their
class.
