Blue-Bot

Get to Know:

The See & Say option gives a Blue-Bot its own voice and perception! Record each of the arrow keys to play back when entering a program or if one Blue-Bot is following behind another. The Blue-Bot See & Say can also detect and respond with either the beep or a pre-recorded message when encountering another See & Say Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot.

Students press the command keys to send the Blue-Bot forward or back, left and right and learn counting, sequencing, directionality, problem-solving, and estimation just like with Bee-Bots. Students are anxious to put their Blue-Bot through its paces and develop important skills while they are having fun.

Like with the Bee-Bot, the Blue-Bot is sturdily constructed and holds up well to classroom use. This bot blinks and beeps engagingly to provide feedback as it follows a program. With a clear shell, the Blue-Bot is literally transparent so that the components can be seen, really helping to demystify technology. A rechargeable battery, with a charger cable, provides years of use.

Take the Blue-Bot to the next level by using the Blue-Bot app to create any programs on screen and send them to the robot via a 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 up the commands on screen and send the program again.

What's in the Box:

• 1 Blue-Bot Robot
• 1 Charger

Additional Features:

Creating a program on-screen, sending it to their Blue-Bot, and revising as desired provides an additional conceptual level of understanding that helps kids further develop algorithmic thinking skills.

The Blue-Bot app adds additional capabilities not available on the Blue-Bot itself. These include 45 degree turns and repeating command sequences to expand learning opportunities provided by the Blue-Bot. There is no charge for your Blue-Bot app which is available for iPads from the Apple Store and Android tablets from the Google Store (search for Blue-Bot). Their Windows and Mac software is in the Terrapin Downloads section of their site.

The Blue-Bot brings science, technology, engineering, and math into the classroom for even the youngest of students and helps build foundational skills for lifelong learning.
