MTA Robotics Grid Mat - Set of 3

This set of three transparent grid mats is a versatile tool that enhances classroom robotics activities. Designed to transform any mat, chart, or picture into a Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot compatible surface, these mats overlay existing materials, making learning interactive and adaptable. The grid aligns perfectly with the step distance of Bee-Bots and Blue-Bots, ensuring precise movement for programming activities. Whether used for storytelling, problem-solving, or creative thinking exercises, these mats provide a valuable resource for hands-on learning.

Why this product is beneficial for educational use:

• Encourages problem-solving skills by allowing students to plan and test robotic movements.
• Supports coding fundamentals, such as sequencing and directional commands.
