Ozobots: Off to the races!
In this fun project, students will code their Ozobots to compete against each other doing sprints! They will learn a key coding concept, looping, as they figure out how to make their bot sprint, turn around, jog back, and then sprint again. This project contains the Computer Science Teachers Association standards as well as Programming Concepts and Dive Deeper sections. We also included 4 student handouts for getting them started faster!

Ozobot Dance Party - Introduction to Coding and Robotics
In this introductory project, kids will code an Ozobot to attend a dance party. They will learn the basics of coding and how to load and run their code on a robot. Time is spent in the beginning of the project to talk a little about the current state of robotics, what the difference is between Science Fiction and Real-Life robots, and what the future may hold for robotics. While coding their dance off moves, they will learn about sequences, events, and looping. All core computing concepts that

Teaching style
Hands on. We believe that students learn STEAM better when a qualified instructor is there walking them through the project. We also believe that when students can hold something tangible in their hands, they can more easily grasp the concept of code and hardware working together.

Additional biographical information
Matt Livingston founded CodeForce along with his wife Jessie because they couldn't find any STE{A}M academies for their 9 year old daughter that weren't coding only. They wanted to offer an alternative that let kids dive into a world of STE{A}M that is immersive and hands on. They wanted kids to get into the weeds while having more fun than a web browser app could ever provide!
