Ozobots
WHAT ARE OZOBOTS?: Ozobots are mini-robots that are coded with colored markers to follow the path from one location to another.
HOW TO START THE ACTIVITY: Create a visual map of places that bring you joy
Step 1: Brainstorm places in your community that bring you joy.
Step 2: Create a visual map of these places that bring you joy using the coding markers for your Ozobot to travel. (Take a look at the Ozobot Packet to calibrate and learn how to code them.) Use stickers, cutouts, or drawings to represent the places you love.
RESOURCES FOR OZOBOTS:
Ozobot How to Videos - a resource with ‘how to’ videos to turn on and use the Ozobots and how to code with the markers
Use the Ozobot Packet to follow the “Get Started” to calibrate your Ozobot and learn how to code your Ozobot.
HOW TO PUT INTO PRACTICE : Ozobots can be used to introduce computational thinking to students. Ozobots can be used in STEAM lessons as well, bringing together mapping, computational concepts, and even design in relation to larger contextual issues.
RESOURCES TO PUT INTO PRACTICE:
Getting Started with Ozobots in the Classroom - is a resource that gives examples of how to implement Ozobots into the classroom with a break down of how to use ozobots as well
Ozobot - Lessons & Activities - is a resource with lessons and activities of how to implement Ozobots into the classroom
