About this game

The Bee-Bot® App from TTS Group has been developed for our well-loved, award winning Bee-Bot® floor robot.

The App makes use of Bee-Bot’s key functionality and enables children to improve their skills in directional language, programming sequences of forwards, backwards, left and right 90 degree turns.

Enabling for the expansion of your Primary Computer Science lessons using Bee-Bot®, the brand new Bee-Bot® App expands students learning into other relevant curriculum areas.

Created with children in mind the Bee-Bot® App has been optimised for enjoyable game play of children aged 4 and above.

We would love to hear which additional levels would benefit your lessons! Get in touch with us on Instagram at tts_computing or Facebook!

Ratings and reviews

I'm a Year 1 teacher and use real Bee-Bots in school (teaching algorithms). This is great activity to set for homework so the children can practise inputting instructions. It also helps them to relate the 3-D physical with the 2-D screen. Simple by but effective.

This app has potential, at the moment it's lacking depth. The issue is the previous commands entered not being shown on the screen meaning you need to memorise the moves completed so far, making this game more difficult to play.

Directional controls don't work. I also tried this on iOs and the directional controls for left and right don't seem to work on that version either.
