<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We recently purchased Dash and Dot and all of their accessories (xylophone, catapult, trailer, bunny ears/tail) The apps are free to download. I am going to be using them this summer with a Little Makers program
we are offering and with preschool storytime. I took them home this weekend to try out and Dash were really fun. I need to work some more with Dot. I like them because they are rechargeable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I also purchased Bee Bots, Blue Bots and ProBots (CAR) I am planning on using Bee Bots with the young kids as well. They are very simple to use. Even I can do it! ProBot holds a pen . The kids can program
the bot and it will draw what has been programmed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m looking to make an end-of-year tech purchase of some programmable robots. I’m curious if any of you have Ozobots, Sphero, Dash & Dot, etc. I’d love to hear what you think about them and how they work in a group session.<o:p></o:p></p>
