Celebrate February with opportunities for meaningful STEM learning. These ready-to-run Ari and Evo lessons connect coding and creativity to celebrations like Black History Month, Valentine’s Day, and Lunar New Year, bringing seasonal learning and fresh excitement into the classroom.
Katherine Johnson: The Human Computer
Celebrate Black History Month with a lesson honoring Katherine Johnson, one of the first Black female mathematicians at NASA. Her precise calculations played a critical role in landing astronauts on the moon. In this STEM lesson, students learn about Katherine’s remarkable contributions and then code Ozobot to create a flight path that safely lands a spaceship on the moon—just like Katherine did.
Grades: 3-5

Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is all about love and creativity! In this activity, students complete a themed worksheet and then program Ozobot to travel along a red heart, spreading joy while practicing foundational coding skills.
Grades: K-2
Subjects: Computer Science, Engineering/Tech, SEL/Digital Citizenship
Academic Standards: CSTA, ISTE
Send Your Valentines
Spread kindness this Valentine’s Day with a collaborative coding experience. Students write letters of appreciation to their classmates and use Ozobot’s bot-to-bot communication to deliver heartfelt messages in a unique and engaging way.

Lunar New Year Red Envelope Adventure
In this festive lesson, students code Ozobot to travel through a Lunar New Year family celebration, collecting red envelopes with random amounts of money. They then calculate the total collected, blending cultural learning with math and coding skills.
Grades: 3-5
Subjects: Computer Science, Engineering/Tech, SEL/Digital Citizenship
Academic Standards: CSTA, ISTE
Coral Inhabitants
Students become marine scientists by building an interactive coral reef that models how ocean animals feed and find shelter. Using Ari, they program and track an ocean creature’s journey through the reef, collect data on coral visits, and analyze results to make meaningful comparisons.
Grades: 1-3
Subjects: Math, Science, Computer Science, ELA
Subjects: Math, Science, Computer Science, ELA
Ocean Energy Food Chain
Students become marine scientists by building an interactive coral reef that models how ocean animals feed and find shelter. Using Ari, they program and track an ocean creature’s journey through the reef, collect data on coral visits, and analyze results to make meaningful comparisons.
Grades: 5
