This is a challenge for the students to see if they can program the Bee-Bot to visit all the squares on the grid. There are a few different ways to do this - so it ties in well with math problem solving.                                                   Materials  Bee-Bot® Europe Mat Bee-Bot -Programming Sheets for Kids                                                             ActivityExplain the challenge to the students. They will make Bee-Bot visit all the countries, get to know the biggest cities, the monuments, using as few moves as possible. Let the children have some time to plan their routes using the squares. How many different routes can they find? How many commands are needed for each? What is the fastest route? After the children draw a path, they will write the list of commands on the worksheets. They can then program the Bee-Bot to follow the route. How many moves did it take? Which child or group had the fewest moves? How many different ways did the team find?
