Learn Coding with Ozobots!
An Ozobot is a small, programmable robot designed to introduce students to coding and robotics in a fun and accessible way. It uses a combination of screen-free color coding and on-screen block-based programming. Children draw sequences of colored marks on paper, and the Ozobot reacts to these colors, executing commands like moving forward, backward, turning or stopping. Ozobots are designed for a wide range of ages and skill levels, making it a great tool for visual learning and exploration. Log-in to reserve an Ozobot with your library card.
Project Ideas:
Create a multi-coloured game board with “monsters” and safe zones
Program two Ozobots to dance in sync
