Prep I have been continuing their early steps into computer programming, learning how to program a floor robot, or BeeBot.

The children have predicted the outcome of a sequence of instructions, and then tested those predictions to see how accurate they have been. Today, BeeBots – who knows what these children will be programming once they are older?!
