About Course

Program a floor robot to move around a mat! Children aged 5–7 learn how robots like Bee-Bot follow a sequence of commands, plan and test simple programs, predict what a program will do, and find and fix mistakes (debugging). No robot? The unplugged “human robot” version works just as well.
