Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students love using these mini robots to code. They are really easy to use and so student-friendly. I have previously used them in kindergarten through fifth grade.

Ozobots are engaging to all students and can be connected across all curriculum.

I love to connect science and social studies standards to Ozobots. These robots are wonderful to use to teach sequencing and coding skills, too. They are so easy to use and programmable in three different ways.

I love giving students opportunities to learn using hands-on materials. Students are fascinated by Ozobots and enjoy using them to code and learn.
