About
Ozobot is a small, screen-free robot that teaches coding and STEM concepts through interactive, hands-on play. Students program it using color codes drawn on paper or block-based coding via an app, translating digital instructions into physical actions. This tool empowers educators to deliver engaging lessons that foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills in K-12 learners.
How to Use
1. Fully charge your Ozobot robot using the provided USB cable. Familiarize yourself with the robot's lights and calibration button.
2. Go to OzoBlockly.com in a web browser, Ozobot's block-based coding editor. Select your Ozobot model (Evo or Bit) and choose a difficulty level.
3. Drag and drop coding blocks to create a program, such as making the robot move, change colors, or follow lines. Test your code virtually if available.
4. Connect your Ozobot to your device via Bluetooth (for Evo) or place it on the screen/paper to load the program (for Bit/Evo). Watch your Ozobot execute the code you've created.
