Beebot software is a perfect accompaniment to the physical activity available for primary schools. The software is an ideal way for children to follow basic algorithms using terms such as:
- Repetition
- Output
- Input
- Process
- Program
- Selection
- Variable
- Sequence
- Debug
The children are required to follow a specified route, which can be selected by the child or the teacher, using the buttons available on screen. The algorithm is then displayed below the control panel as the children complete the sequence. If commands are incorrect, children can delete and edit these at any point. Once completed, the children can play the algorithm using the green arrow and then select the home button to restart the sequence. This will then lead on from using the physical Beebots as an unplugged activity to using a computer resource activity.
