BLUEBOTS ROBOTICS

An awesome and engaging Robotics class for Pre-school kids aged 3–5 years that promotes learning of technical skills in a playful way. We use the Blue-Bot and/or Bee-Bot robot kits, which are exciting robots designed specifically for young children. They are colorful, easy-to-operate, and entertaining little robots that are ideal for teaching numeracy, sequencing, estimation and problem-solving. We integrate an underlying science theme linked to topic choices that include the solar system, Australian Currency, alphabets and numbers, as well as a map of Australia.
