The pupils are witnessing a concrete use for the programming process and can see their own digital coding skills being used to affect a physical object. The fact that the process happens without a physical connection to the Blue-Bot adds awe and wonder to the process, and this can be used by teachers and other adults to further the pupil’s understanding of our digital world.

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.However, these are all features which were already available on the Blue-Bot’s predecessor, Bee-Bot. Being the next generation of programmable floor robot, the true value of the Blue-Bot comes with the innovative new ways in which we can interact with it. F–2 students should be provided with opportunities to explore new concepts such as algorithms through guided play, including hands-on, kinaesthetic and interactive learning experiences. Students begin to develop their design skills by conceptualising algorithms as a sequence of steps/procedures for carrying out instructions to solve simple problems or achieve certain things, such as identifying steps in a process or controlling a Blue-Bot.

Used with a premade or custom grid, children can enjoy simple coding with independence, applying ad-hoc debugging skills as they go. Measure and compare the lengths and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units (ACMMG019) Pro zpětnou vazbu je Blue-Bot vybaven reproduktorem a LED diodami, díky čemuž je přístupnější i pro děti se zvláštními sluchovými či zrakovými potřebami.Robot navíc dokáže rozpoznat i dalšího Bee-Bota nebo Blue-Bota v okolí a pozdravit ho. Při pozdravu přehraje výchozí zvuk nebo si do něj žáci mohou nahrát vlastní zvuk.

The Blue-Bot is a terrifically versatile resource for use with the new computing curriculum. The expectation that children should create simple algorithms and debug them was a cause for concern for many teachers. With the Blue-Bot and app however, this should not be a daunting prospect and we now relish the challenge of solving problems using our transparent friends. By taking a photo of whatever flooring or school-made mat your physical Blue-Bot will be running on, you can create a virtual mat which matches: therefore the only limit to where your Blue-bot can be travelling is your imagination. The implications of this for the Blue-Bots use across the entire breadth of the curriculum are immense. Blue-Bot robot je napájen vestavěnou baterií, kterou můžete snadno dobíjet pomocí USB kabelu, který je součástí balení. Při plném nabití vydrží Blue-Bot až 6 hodin běžného používání (při nepřetržitém použití přibližně 1 a půl hodiny). Pokud je baterie zcela vybitá, její plné nabití může trvat až 4 hodiny.

Worksheet with prediction of number of steps and turns compared to actual number of steps and turns. Blue-Bot je vybaven technologií Bluetooth, takže ho můžete spárovat s tabletem, telefonem, počítačem nebo TacTile čtečkou a posunout programovací dovednosti dětí na vyššíúroveň. The new and improved Blue-Bot® is a perfect starting point for teaching control, and you can wirelessly control it with your tablet or PC.

One or even two directional buttons can be removed Random instructions can be generated, you must predict which square Blue-Bot will end up. Blue-Bot is one of the many loved members of the TTS Floor Robot family. The Blue-Bot app enables you to write an algorithm, send it and then Blue-Bot will follow your instructions. There are numerous features, which make writing algorithms both fun and educational. The next activity type is obstacles, which are similar to A to B challenges only, now, there are obstacles in their way. To succeed, students simply need to take this into account and make sure their programs avoid any of the various on-screen obstacles. Next, the fewer buttons challenges involve one or two unavailable command buttons as kids create their programs. They may not have any access to the forward movement command, for example, meaning they'll need to find a creative way to get their Blue-Bot to its destination. Finally, with the random instructions challenges, students will see a sample program and must determine where the Blue-Bot will end up based on the command sequence. The app has been developed with 12 levels encouraging progression. Each level is timed and the faster it is completed the more stars you get! The levels are set in an engaging garden scenario and will appeal from age 4 upwards. Is the Blue-Bot app UK only? - The app should be available in all countries. 5. How many times can you re-charge Bee-Bot? - Approx. 500 times
