Teacher Rebecca Dyorich says "In 6th grade, students are exploring interests and future opportunities. Coding is an unknown for many of our students. Ozobots are a fun way to access coding for a variety of ages. In groups of 2 or 3 working with an Ozobot students totally new to coding can use a marker to code their bot, intermediate students can use block coding, and more advanced students can use Python to code their bot and see immediate results of how their code is working. It allows multiple levels in the same class to interact with coding and learn. Our school has the 6th graders present STEM night and this year we would love to do a Coding based STEM night and have Ozobots available for the students to interact with as one of our stations."
