Bee-Bots in BPS

Since 2010, Boston Public Schools have integrated Bee-Bots into K2 to G2 curricula, training approximately 120 teachers through various professional development initiatives. This hands-on approach fosters essential pre-programming skills, problem-solving, and the ability to combine commands to create complex sequences. With around 240 Bee-Bots deployed across 180 classrooms, students engage with fundamental concepts like alphabet recognition, number sense, vocabulary, and directionality in a fun, interactive environment. Bee-Bots are revolutionizing early education in Boston.
