Botzees Robotics - Mini

Botzees Mini is a screen-free coding robot designed for children aged 3 years and up. This compact robot teaches early coding principles using visual line-tracking and physical command cards-no screens or apps required. Botzees Mini follows paths on predesigned maps or student-created lines, responding to simple commands for motion, light, and sound. It's a playful, hands-on introduction to programming that promotes curiosity and creativity in young learners.
