Ozobot Amusement Park (1-3 Days)
This lesson introduces students to all the various color codes the Ozobot Evo recognizes. Students explore the rides in the book How to Code a Roller Coaster and recreate the various rides color commands. In addition, students explore language arts concepts through their interactions with the book. This lesson can be adapted to the number of days available with your students by excluding some of the rides from the activity.
