Abstract
The paper is aimed at using modern technology, specifically the programmable toy Bee-Bot, to teach pre-school children, helping them develop their computational thinking as well as logic and abstract thinking and pre-mathematical concepts. Moreover, it also introduces an activity which uses the aforementioned programmable toy to help children develop not only their computational thinking, but also their problem-analysis and problem-solving skills.The paper is aimed at using modern technology, specifically the programmable toy Bee-Bot, to teach pre-school children, helping them develop their computational thinking as well as logic and abstract thinking and pre-mathematical concepts. Moreover, it also introduces an activity which uses the aforementioned programmable toy to help children develop not only their computational thinking, but also their problem-analysis and problem-solving skills.
