Pupils enter directional commands using the buttons on Bee-Bot itself and can then watch their sequence of instructions come to life as the robot moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pack includes \u003cstrong\u003efour activity mats\u003c\/strong\u003e: a Treasure Island Mat, Busy Street Mat and two Transparent Grid Mats. These provide teachers with a variety of ready-to-use and customisable environments for creating coding challenges. The transparent grids are particularly versatile, as teachers can place their own pictures, words, numbers or other learning materials underneath to create activities linked to different subjects. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso included are \u003cstrong\u003e49 sequence cards\u003c\/strong\u003e, which allow pupils to physically plan and arrange their instructions before entering them into Bee-Bot.
