Bee-Bot Online Emulator
A coding game featuring a programmable bee robot that introduces students to basic programming skills based on directional language. Students create a sequence of steps using the controls: forwards, backwards, left and right turns, which the bee bot follows in order to solve simple problems such as herding sheep into a pen. Bee bot game is set on farms and a flower garden and becomes increasingly complex as students progress through the levels.
