The Ozobot lesson library is a growing collection of Ozobot and teacher-created lessons for grades K-8. In addition to the expected computer science lessons, you’ll find topics that range from storytelling to planetary alignment to determining the value of pi. Students can explore creative possibilities in the Get Inspired and Share Your Ideas sections in the Evo app or on the Ozobot YouTube channel. Some of these ideas include creating a maze, a racetrack, and a capture-the-flag game.
Evo by Ozobot is a versatile coding tool with three ways to program and hundreds of applications. How do you know where to start or which programming option to choose? Rely on the app, the starter experience pack, and the teacher guide to get you started. Once learners learn the basics of how Evo works, let their interests and creativity be your guide. Evo offers something for every learner: Novice programmers can learn to code with Color Codes while advanced learners can program with logic, variables, and functions and make the most of Evo’s light and proximity sensors. Unfortunately, Evo has a short battery life (60 minutes max), making it difficult to use in back-to-back classes.
Coding is often seen as a solitary activity. Because of their tiny size and programming ease, Evos are great for collaboration. Students can work together to program multiple Evos to interact, play a game, or solve a problem together. Though the app’s Friends feature is currently just a distracting messaging service, hopefully Ozobot will soon add the ability to share code or send programs to a friend’s Evo.
