ISTELive 2025 was one for the books! A premier conference for the education industry, ISTE brings educators, technologists, and thought leaders together to explore, collaborate and dive deep into the state of edtech and what its future holds. Hosted this year in San Antonio, TX, Ozobot made its biggest impact yet, unveiling exciting new products, hosting in-booth learning sessions, and taking home a best of show award.
Ari Named Best of Show in Primary Education
We’re thrilled to share that Ari, our newest coding robot designed to bring screen-free and screen-based learning to early elementary students, received Tech & Learning’s Best of Show award in the Primary Education category. With its expressive eyes, seamless integration with Color Code and Ozobot Editor programming, and cross-curricular capabilities, Ari captured the judges attention as a standout at this year’s show.
Engineering & Math Fluency Kits Debut

In-Booth Sessions Led by Ozobot Educators
For the first time ever, we hosted educator-led sessions inside our booth, giving attendees direct access to the experts behind Ozobot curriculum and PD as well as classroom educators who are using Ozobot with their students on a daily basis. Teachers learned how to incorporate our robots into everyday lessons and explored creative strategies for engaging students with STEAM. We also took attendees through a practice run of a challenge from the new Engineering and Math Fluency Kits, which evoked smiles, chatter and a friendly air of competition across the group.
Hands-On AI Integration with Ozobot Editor
Another major highlight? Live demos of the new Ozobot Editor, showcasing AI-powered lesson creation and seamless integration with our ORA and Ari product lines. Educators experienced how AI can personalize student learning while saving time on planning and instruction.
From the award-winning Ari coding robot to first-of-their-kind classroom tools, ISTELive 2025 was an important milestone in our mission to empower every student to code, create, and collaborate with Ozobot. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth—we can’t wait to see what you create next!
