Blue-Bot
All Blue-Bots now include the See & Say function! Meet the Blue-Bot, a Bee-Bot robot with a Bluetooth connection! The new See & Say option gives the Blue-Bot a voice and perception! Use the buttons on the back to program the Blue-Bot just like with the Bee-Bot. Connect the Blue-Bot to your tablet or PC via Bluetooth, using free apps, and program it remotely. The Blue-Bot offers all the features of the Bee-Bot while also introducing remote control!
Grades: PreK-2
Get to Know:
The new See & Say option gives the Blue-Bot a voice and perception! Record each of the arrow keys to play back when entering a program or when Blue-Bot is following one. The Blue-Bot See & Say can also detect and respond with either a beep or a pre-recorded message when encountering another See & Say Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot.
Students press the command keys to send Blue-Bot forward and back, left and right and learn counting, sequencing, directionality, problem-solving, and estimation just like with Bee-Bots. Students are anxious to put Blue-Bot through its paces and develop important thinking skills while they are having fun.
Like Bee-Bot, Blue-Bot is sturdily constructed and holds up well to classroom use. Blue-Bot blinks and beeps engagingly to provide feedback as it follows a program. With its clear shell, Blue-Bot is literally transparent so that its components can be seen, helping to demystify technology. A rechargeable battery, with accompanying charger cable, provides years of use.
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 degree 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 of their site.
Blue-Bot brings science, technology, engineering, and math into the classroom for even the youngest students and helps build foundational skills for lifelong learning.
