RESOURCE OVERVIEW:
The aim of the activity is for the class to create a program to control a single Bee-Bot, or similar floor robot, around a complex course. The pupils achieve this by decomposing the route into sections, creating the algorithm in smaller steps and then programming the Bee-Bot.
PUPIL OBJECTIVES:
- I can break down a problem into smaller parts.
- I can create an algorithm and a program to move a robot to a specific point.
- I can detect and correct errors in my program.
TEACHING ASSESSMENT OPPORTUNITIES:

LESSON TIMING: Not specified
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
- Bee-Bot command cards.
- Numbered Fake Bot cards and crosses.
