What is Ozobot?
Ozobot is a programmable small robot, which is an innovative way to teach subjects like programming, math and science.
Simple and intuitive to use on the one hand, highly programmable and versatile on the other. The robot can be used with browser tools and related apps, you can play games or create music with it. The robot can also be used with small children by programming it with color codes drawn on paper. It can be integrated to multiple subjects from arts to science.

Pedagogy
Certified by Education Alliance Finland, 01/2018
EAF Evaluation is an academically-backed approach to evaluating the pedagogical design of a product. EAF evaluators assess the product using criteria that covers the most essential pedagogical aspects in the learning experience.
PassiveActive
Students are in a highly active role when using Ozobot as the robot needs to get instructions from the user to work.
RehearseConstruct
Students construct new information from their actions. Ozobot has multiple difficulty levels from color coding to block-based programming, so it is always possible to find the right difficulty level for everyone. By following Ozobot's lesson plans, teachers can concentrate on practicing certain skills as well.
LinearNon-linear/Creative
The product and its tools offer a high degree of modification and freedom, allowing endless possibilities.
IndividualCollaborative
Ozobot can be used either individually or in a group. The lesson materials give multiple ideas for teachers on how to use Ozobot with students even if there isn't a robot available for each student.
Learning goals
Certified by Education Alliance Finland
The supported learning goals are identified by mapping the product against the selected reference curriculum and soft skills definitions most relevant for the 21st century.
- K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
- 3-5-ETS1-1. Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
- Apply their understanding of computing to program, monitor and control their products.
- Evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work.
