bumble-B is a bit special. He's a little bit awkward-looking - we admit, aesthetics wasn't on our minds when we designed him. See, one of our clients told us about an IT-specific (I.e. Non-Engineering) event they were running. We felt that Violet wasn't quite right for them so we pitched the idea of bumble-B.

They loved the concept so much that we found ourselves with mere months to design, manufacture and then package the kits before we had to deliver.

To our surprise, bumble-B was such a success with students that we sold out our first batch in a space of a few months. We even had one student tell us how much she hated coding (she hated it a lot by the way - it was a very emotive yet, eloquent speech) that she didn't even want to attend our workshop. After meeting bumble-B though, she fell in love with coding and was determined to get her hands on one to finish her Space Invaders game.

Trust us, we honestly did not think bumble-B would be as loved as much as this. So if it makes your students fall in love with the challenges and rewards coding has to give, then we will promise to continue making our special little B.
