They program their robots to follow specific routes, thereby<br \/>\nunderstanding the concept of sequencing and developing algorithmic thinking.<br \/>\nThey strengthen their spatial skills through activities such as designing the<br \/>\nshortest route or orienting themselves on a map. Additionally, they engage in<br \/>\nmeasurements, predictions, and problem-solving, enhancing their critical<br \/>\nthinking and early mathematical skills.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, BeeBot, combined with thematic mats, offers a variety of teaching<br \/>\nscenarios! The activities are related to Mythology, the Arts, Physics, and<br \/>\nMathematics. Children will participate in these activities by taking on the role of<br \/>\nlittle scientists! They will actively engage since all activities are hands-on and<br \/>\nbased on the educational method of learning by doing. And all of this is done<br \/>\nthrough collaboration, creativity, and innovation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message]<strong>The aim of the program is for children to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Become familiar with the use and programming of BeeBot.<br \/>\n\u2022 Introduce them to basic algorithmic\/programming concepts such as sequence<br \/>\nand code in a hands-on way.<br \/>\n\u2022 Enhance their spatial perception and orientation, which is directly related to<br \/>\nmathematical thinking.<br \/>\n\u2022 Engage experientially with concepts from the natural sciences and the world<br \/>\naround us.<\/p>\n<p>\uf0b7 Explore and use their experiences and ideas as elements of artistic creation.<br \/>\n\u2022 Use art in combination with other activities.<br \/>\n\u2022 Cultivate pre-mathematical skills through the creation of problem-solving situations.<br \/>\n\u2022 Familiarize themselves with the possibilities and ways of using various materials.<br \/>\n[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kindergarten<br \/>\nChildren configure their robots to follow specific paths.
