Botzees Mini is a screen-free coding robot designed for children aged 3 years and up. This compact robot teaches early coding principles using visual line-tracking and physical command cards-no screens or apps required. Botzees Mini follows paths on predesigned maps or student-created lines, responding to simple commands for motion, light, and sound. It's a playful, hands-on introduction to programming that promotes curiosity and creativity in young learners. Educational Benefits: Teaches coding basics using tangible, age-appropriate tools Supports early literacy and sequencing skills with visual coding Encourages creative thinking through open-ended robot customisation Enhances fine motor coordination and spatial awareness Reduces screen time while developing 21st century tech fluency Classroom Ideas: Use the command cards to guide Botzees through problem-solving challenges Allow students to draw their own paths and predict the robot's response Set up stations with different maps and tasks (e.g. sound activation, colour change) Encourage customisation with building blocks to create unique robot characters Pair students to collaborate on navigation and code debugging activities Specifications: Suitable for ages: 3 years and up Screen-free, app-free robot Includes: 4 pre-designed maps, 16 building blocks, graphic command cards Functions: Line tracking, visual recognition, plays sounds, LED emoji display Sensor: Under-device camera for path tracking
