The new school year is officially underway and our education team has been hard at work, creating a fresh collection of new and updated lessons that will turn your classroom into a hub for STEAM innovation, creativity, and hands-on learning. Whether it’s counting down to election day, dancing with Evo, or diving into the basics with our introductory lessons, we’ve got a plethora of standards-aligned curricula to kick off the year with success.
This lesson is all about debugging. Students will identify errors in buggy code using their programming skills and some help from the Ozobot Blockly glossary. Then, they’ll code their own buggy program for a classmate to troubleshoot.
Academic Standards: CSTA, ISTE
Grade Levels: 5-8
Subjects: Computer Science, Engineering/Tech
Puddle-jumping with Conditionals
In this STEM lesson, students will use block-based coding to apply the concept of conditionals, programming their bot to perform various actions based on different colors.
Academic Standards: ISTE, CSTA
Grade Levels: 4-6
Subjects: Computer Science
In this STEAM activity, students will transform Ozobot into an “Influencer Bot” by sending a trendy dance through IR emitters. Then, they’ll code a program for the “Follower Bot” to catch the moves and join the dance craze!
Academic Standards: CSTA, ISTE
Grade Levels: 6-8
Subjects: Computer Science, Engineering/Tech
Rev up your engines and get ready to code! In this interactive lesson, students will design a Blockly program to navigate an Ozobot slot car around a race track. Watch as they race across the finish line using line navigation, timing, and light effects blocks!
Academic Standards: CSTA, ISTE
Grade Levels: 4-8
Subjects: Computer Science, Engineering/Tech
Ozobot wants to go skateboarding, but safety comes first! In this STEAM lesson, students will guide Ozobot through the neighborhood, ensuring it safely avoids construction zones.
Academic Standards: CSTA, ISTE
Grade Levels: 2-3
Subjects: Computer Science, ELA
Embark on the campaign and help Ozobot run for President of the United States! Students will plan Ozobot’s events and choose a running mate. Then, they’ll use Color Codes to program a track for Ozobot to visit each state.
Academic Standards: ISTE, CSTA
Grade Levels: 3-5
Subjects: Social Studies, Computer Science, Engineering/Tech
Put your students’ knowledge of history and programming skills to the test and watch them navigate through the President’s parade maze.
Academic Standards: ISTE, CSTA
Grade Levels: 2-5
Subjects: Social Studies
Introduction to Color Codes 04: Direction
In this STEM lesson, students will explore how Ozobot makes random choices at intersections when not programmed to turn in a specific direction. They’ll also program their bot to turn intentionally at intersections and gain experience using U-turn codes.
Academic Standards: ISTE, CSTA
Grade Levels: K-12
Subjects: Computer Science
Introduction to Ozobot Blockly 04: Debugging (Grades 2-5)
In this STEM lesson, students learn about the concept of debugging and practice the concept with block-based coding to find and correct errors in different programs.
Academic Standards: CSTA, ISTE
Grade Levels: 2-5
