As 2024 draws to a close, we’re excited to reflect on a year filled with innovation, growth, and a steadfast commitment to enhancing STEAM education for K-12 students and beyond. Our mission to make coding and robotics accessible and engaging for learners everywhere has driven us to introduce new products, expand our educational resources, and connect with our community in meaningful ways. Let’s take a look back at some of the highlights that made this year remarkable.
Introducing Challenge Mats: A New Dimension in Learning
This year, we launched a brand-new product category: Challenge Mats. Designed to provide hands-on coding experiences, these themed mats offer students interactive challenges that develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Each of the four mats presents unique scenarios, encouraging learners to apply their coding knowledge in practical, engaging ways using the Evo coding robot and Ozobot Blockly.
Ozo Tells Time: Integrating STEAM with Time-Telling Skills
In our ongoing effort to blend STEAM concepts with essential life skills, we introduced the Ozo Tells Time STEAM Kit. This kit combines coding and robotics with lessons that support reading analog clocks, helping students grasp the concept of time while honing their programming abilities. It’s been a joy to see educators and students embrace this innovative approach to learning.
A Viral Sensation: 12 Million Plays on TikTok!
Our community’s enthusiasm reached new heights when one of our TikToks went viral, garnering over 12 million plays! The video showcased Evo’s quirky side, highlighting the fun and educational experiences our products offer students. We are thrilled to see such widespread excitement and look forward to inspiring even more learners through our social media channels.
Expanding Ozobot Classroom: Over 200 New Standards-Aligned Lessons
Education is at the heart of what we do, and this year we significantly expanded our free online lesson library, Ozobot Classroom. We added over 200 new standards-aligned STEAM lessons, providing educators with a diverse array of resources to enhance their STEAM and core content teaching. These lessons cover various subjects and grade levels, ensuring that students receive comprehensive and engaging STEAM education.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate these milestones, we remain dedicated to our mission of empowering the next generation of creators, innovators, and problem-solvers. We are excited about the future and the opportunities it holds for further creativity in STEAM education. Thank you for being a part of the Ozobot community, we look forward to continuing this journey together in the coming year!
