Chart a course and send Pro-Bot on its way with the new Pro-Bot Route Mat! The Pro-Bot Route Mat offers unlimited navigational challenges. With many choices of which way to go, students are motivated to carefully plan a path for Pro-Bot and program the robot to follow it. Calculating distances, angles, and turns to complete the route builds planning, estimation, and math skills.

The Pro-Bot Route Mat allows students to start with the straight and narrow and then move on to the long and winding road as their Pro-Bot programming skills are developed. The Route Mat includes geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, triangles, and a circle that can be followed alone or in combination along with free form shortcuts that add new challenges. Appealing bright colors help students to organize their routes.

The Pro-Bot Route Mat is made of durable vinyl and measures 42" by 60" providing plenty of room for Pro-Bot to roam.

Technology is a favorite subject at Harwich Elementary School on Cape Cod, in Harwich, MA. Students in all grades enjoy the experience of using Roamer and Bee-Bot robots and programming with Terrapin Logo .

Harwich Elementary is a regional leader in technology education. The late Senator Ted Kennedy, who lived in neighboring Hyannisport, was a supporter of Harwich's technology program. As shown in the photo on the right, he visited on Technology Day when students demonstrated their programming and robotic skills to parents and friends.

"We have used Roamers and Logo with upper grade students for many years," reports Technology Directory Larry Brookhart . "The addition of Bee-Bots allows us to extend technology experience to the youngest grades as well. Students of all ages are motivated by the chance to program on or off the computer."
