Continue the hands-on STEM learning this summer with our featured Evo and Ari lessons! Students will explore everything from Earth’s seasonal cycles to the wonders of the ocean through engaging, curriculum-aligned coding activities.
Evo Lessons
Exploring Solstices and Equinoxes
Students will use Ozobot Blockly to program Evo on a journey through the year’s solstices and equinoxes, exploring Earth’s most significant seasonal milestones through hands-on coding.
Grades: 3-5
Subjects: Science, Computer Science
Academic Standards: NGSS, ISTE, CSTA
Ozobot Race Track
Just in time for end-of-year testing, this study guide activity puts a fun spin on exam prep! Students program Ozobot’s random movement through their guide using Ozobot Blockly, then work through study questions to practice any subject.
Grades: K-2
Subjects: Computer Science, Engineering/Tech
Academic Standards: ISTE, CSTA
Fooled by the Bug
In this lesson, students sharpen their debugging skills by hunting down errors in a buggy Ozobot Blockly program using the glossary as their guide. Then they flip the script, writing their own buggy code for a classmate to troubleshoot.
Grades: 5-8
Subjects: Computer Science, Engineering/Tech
Academic Standards: CSTA, ISTE
Ari Lessons
Ocean Life Cycles
Students build interactive diagrams tracing the life cycles of two ocean-dwelling organisms, guided by Ari — a character that travels along a track to animate each stage. They then compare and contrast the two life cycles, exploring how different creatures grow and change beneath the waves.
Grades: 3-4
Subjects: Science, Computer Science
Academic Standards: NGSS, CSTA, ISTE
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
Subjects: Science, Computer Science
Academic Standards: NGSS, CSTA
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
Academic Standards: NGSS, ISTE, CSTA
Whale Fall Cycle
Explore the fascinating deep-sea ecosystem that forms when a whale sinks to the ocean floor. Students will program Ari to represent each stage of the whale fall cycle, using Color Codes and sequencing language to model this unique process.
Grades: 2-3
Subjects: Social Studies, Computer Science
Academic Standards: CSTA, NGSS
