Bob the Builder – What is the benefit of it?
An Educational robotic programme which brings the students into the world of STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Children see Bob’s community come to life as he and his crew take on new building projects to improve existing structures. Bob and his team model STEM habits and practices while building on preschoolers’ natural interests. In addition, children are exposed to STEM vocabulary words that further enhance their language development. Bob the Builder isn’t just about STEM and language enrichment. The series fosters social and emotional development for students through the interaction of the characters and the activities in which they are involved. Social situations in the episode resonate with kids as they learn about friendship, handling conflict, addressing fears, helping others, dealing with jealousy, sharing, teamwork and more. Bob the Builder is the theme that all characters take responsibility for their actions. As a leader of the team, Bob provides a safe, nurturing environment for the characters so they are able to “fess up” to their ” mess-ups” and participate in fixing the problem. Bob the Builder provides developmentally appropriate episodes to guide the child into the world of STEM while establishing characters as positive role models.
It is a 4 days programme with one bring home project.
