If you haven't met Botley yet, you NEED to hang out with this cool little guy and his fun personality! This battery driven robot requires no previous coding skill and no additional technology - he just needs you to be ready to problem solve! I found the perfect opportunity to use our Botley coding robot kits with our Life Skills students. With the easy, push-button remote and the fun activity cards included, my life skills kids were coding within seconds! First, the students explored creating line paths for Botley to follow using the puzzle-piece shaped cards included with the kit: Next, they tried experimenting with some of the accessories, including the blocks, flags, and circle goals! They used the accessories to make a goal for Botley to go and "grab" the square block with his two small arms, coding it with the remote control! They even created fun obstacle courses for Botley to navigate, and coded him to move through it: Using these Botley Robots with my life skills students was one of the most rewarding lessons I've done yet this year. These student-friendly robots truly allow anyone to code successfully!
