Programming Bee-bot is an activity where children work in pairs. The children will play with a programmable robotic bee, and work together to program the bee so that it moves across a grid. The bee will be programmed to perform simple tasks, with varying degrees of difficulty. The tasks are assigned as the children master the programming better and better.

Description of the lesson:

Introduction (approx. 10 min):

• The class is picked up by an educator. 
• The teacher talks to the students about what programming is. 
• The students receive an introduction and demonstration of the robotic bee.
• The students are divided into pairs and given a Bee-bot, a board and the first task.

Assembly (approx. 25 min): 

• The students work in pairs on the first task.
• Once the students have completed the first task, they are given a slightly more difficult task.
• The rest of the time, more obstacles are added to the board, making the tasks more challenging.

Conclusion (approx. 5 min):

• Gathering on the floor, where the students, teacher and educator summarize.
