Ozobots are a small line following robot that let kids learn the basics of programming in a variety of ways, including through color codes that can be laid down with markers or as stickers. This allows you to integrate hands-on programming into your classroom without the need for tablets, phones, or computers. Ozobots can also be programmed using Blocky via tablets and (in the case of Evo) Bluetooth which allows you to scale the programming difficulty to individual students, or to multiple grad
