At the moment there is a focus on the use of the Ministry’s equipment. To this end, cables are being created with which sensors can work with as many boards as possible, the STEM Extension with which we can program S1 & S2 with Mind+, Lego type building materials, Supporting materials with related lessons and books and suggestions. Seminars have been started to make use of the equipment available in schools.

The preparation of the Panhellenic Competition is in progress, for which the registration form for teams, information, the webinars for teachers’ preparation, etc. can be found here.

We can design our own knowledge and skills path.

Starting from what I am and where I want to go, we end up going through similar educational material, which is available in the [Repository] and in the [Repository structure] that is organised to facilitate this journey.

Good navigation.

About Course

Bee Explorer is a unique way to make any BeeBot mat interactive! The BeeBot works together with the micro:bit to bring its journey to life. It moves along a special mat and recognizes cards placed at various points along its path. Every time the BeeBot reads a card, a related video is automatically triggered and played, providing additional information and interactive learning connected to that specific location on the mat. In this way, the BeeBot becomes a valuable and fun educational tool, offering a comprehensive learning experience for both young and older learners alike!

Νote: The educational material and the lesson’s content are continuously updated.

What Will You Learn?

  • To develop basic spatial orientation concepts. To understand and apply terms such as "forward", "backward", "right", "left", "move ahead", "turn", through guiding the BeeBot.
  • To follow simple directional commands, focusing on the accuracy of the robot’s movement.
  • To become familiar with programming and the sequencing of commands/actions. To give simple sequences of instructions to the BeeBot, understanding the importance of the correct order of movements.
  • To recognize the connection between commands and results, enhancing the understanding of cause and effect.
  • To apply the trial-and-error method. To test and modify their instructions when the BeeBot does not reach the intended target, promoting problem-solving skills.
  • To enhance mathematical skills through orientation games. To participate in activities that strengthen spatial understanding, such as placing the BeeBot on a grid with various obstacles or goals, aiming to develop orientation and strategic thinking skills.
  • To develop collaboration and communication through group activities. To work in teams, determining and checking the commands given to the BeeBot, strengthening cooperation and communication skills.
  • To cultivate creativity and analytical thinking. To participate in activities where they create their own designs and scenarios on how to guide the BeeBot to reach specific goals, encouraging imagination and logical thinking.
