Blue-Bots are unique robots built with multi-aged children in mind. They are simple enough for kindergarteners to program. Our first activity will be to program the blue-bots to navigate a maze by working together to create a step-by-step plan to reach the bee hive. My kindergarten students are so excited when their program is successful! Blue-Bots are also advanced enough for sixth graders to program using a computer and a bluetooth connection. In this way, the older students can write algorithms and use loops, conditionals, and functions to program the Blue-Bots to work together to solve a common goal, such as collecting "pollen" from "flowers" placed around the classroom. I am excited to see my students grow confident and skilled as they learn computer science.
Students that learn computer science are empowered to engage with powerful ideas, solve problems, and be creative. These skills will enable my students throughout their lives no matter what career path they choose to follow. Thank you for helping me to take my students to the next level by providing Blue-Bots to my classroom.
