Ozobot is a miniature smart robot that can follow lines or roam around freely, detect colors, and can also be programmed. Students will learn hands-on about roboticsand programming while working on STEM/STREAM applications.
Ozobot can teach kids of many ages. Elementary school students can start programming Ozobot with visual color codes on a tablet using our free apps, or with markers on a piece of paper. Starting in elementary school and all the way to high school, students have the additional option to learn advanced programming skills with Ozobot Bit and OzoBlockly. Parkway's Quick Start Guide
