Meet Blue-Bot, the new Bee-Bot robot with a Bluetooth connection! Blue-Bot brings science, technology, engineering, and math into the classroom for even the youngest students and h elps build foundational skills for lifelong learning. Use the buttons on the back to program Blue-Bot just like Bee-Bot. Connect Blue-Bot to your tablet or PC via Bluetooth, using free apps, and program Blue-Bot remotely. Blue-Bot offers all the features of Bee-Bot while also introducing remote control! Use the Blue-Bot app to create a program on screen and send it to Blue-Bot via the 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 the commands on screen and send the program again. Creating a program on-screen, sending it to Blue-Bot, and revising as desired provides an additional conceptual level of understanding that further develops algorithmic thinking skills. There is no charge for the Blue-Bot app which is available for iPads from the Apple Store and Android tablets from the Google Store (search for Blue-Bot) and for Windows and Mac software in the Terrapin Downloads section. Like Bee-Bot, Blue-Bot is sturdily constructed and holds up well to classroom use. Blue-Bot blinks and beeps engagingly to provide feedback as it follows a program. With its clear shell, Blue-Bot's components can be seen, helping to demystify technology. A rechargeable battery, with accompanying charger cable, provides years of use. PLEASE NOTE: Blue-Bot® is compatible with any Android or iOS tablet with version 3.0/4.0+ EDR Bluetooth (e.g. iPad3 and later). Please check your device specifications to ensure it is compatible.
