What are your bee-bots’ names?
Our centre Bee-Bots have all been given names that begin with the letter B. We’ve got Buzz, Bart, Boris, Blinky, Bindi, Bonnie, Blitzen and a number of other bots. We thought our Bee-Bot names were pretty cute, until we heard the names that a Year 10 class at Bentley Park College in Cairns gave their Bee-Bots.
