the Terrapin newsletter

Volume 21, Number 1 --- --------------------------------September 2025

Greetings!

Welcome to the back-to-school issue of Turtle Talk, Terrapin's email newsletter with the latest news, announcements, stories, tips, and tools!

Try Angles with Pro-Bot!

Pro-Bot is a great next step and easy transition from Bee-Bot. Like Bee-Bot, Pro-Bot is self-contained: no other device is required. Program Pro-Bot using buttons on the back. Press the arrow keys and Pro-Bot acts just like Bee-Bot. It's even yellow and black!


But Pro-Bot offers much more! Use the numeric keypad to enter numbers that tell Pro-Bot how many steps to move and degrees to turn. Pro-Bot is a great way to introduce measuring turns and degrees.


With a built-in pen holder, Pro-Bot can draw as it goes, offering a hands-on way to experience and learn angles and geometry. With the repeat function, simple shapes can quickly become complex designs.


Terrapin is introducing an economical Pro-Bot Learning Station to make it easy to try Pro-Bot. With a Pro-Bot, Dry Erase Mat, and Pen Pack, the Learning Station is everything you need to try out Pro-Bot. Through December 31, Pro-Bot Lessons is included with the Learning Station at no extra charge.


The Pro-Bot Six Pack has been reconfigured and has a lower price. Equip an entire class to draw and learn about angles and turns.


Take the next step after Bee-Bot with Pro-Bot!

Pro-Bot Offers Multiple Teaching Options

Pro-Bot is a sophisticated robot disguised as a fun, easy-to-use race car. Students can transfer Bee-Bot experience and use Pro-Bot to advance coding skills. Terrapin offers many resources to help teach with Pro-Bot.


Pro-Bot Lessons provides “Guided Explorations” for students and teachers along with “Focus on Geometry” activities that align with math standards. Try it for free for 30 days.


The Pro-Bot Emulator lets students practice Pro-Bot coding online. The Emulator includes all Pro-Bot controls, including a virtual pen and blank canvas where Pro-Bot can draw.


Coding Journeys are online activities for Bee-Bot, Blue-Bot, and Pro-Bot that illustrate each robot's capabilities to achieve similar goals. Click on a mat to open the Emulator and start coding!


Pro-Bot Robotics is a complete guide to all the features of Pro-Bot, including sensors, sub-procedures, and menu options.


Heather Fox, technology specialist for Grades 4–6 in Wrentham, MA, tells us: “I absolutely love the online Pro-Bot Emulator. It has been a game changer for me when teaching my students how to use Pro-Bots. The geometry lessons in Pro-Bot Lessons are amazing! They are exactly what I was looking for. They offer a fun and engaging way to review angles, shapes, degrees, lines, and more..."
