relevant to one of the partner schools and place them on the beebot mat. Then they will ask
students to describe the objectives displayed in front of them. The same process will
repeatedly take place so as all the project countries are presented. Additionally, students will
guide beebot to the spots trying to connect them. When students finish with this activity, the
teachers will ask questions in order to help them remember specific information about each
