The Ozobot Evo is an easy-to-use, versatile, and powerful robot for teaching coding and computational thinking. Students can also use it to see how block code translates to JavaScript. Now, it's even easier for educators to maximize its potential thanks to the introduction of the Evo Educator Entry Kit. Designed specifically for teachers with plenty of helpful content and free STEAM lessons, the Evo Educator Entry Kit helps educate them on the best ways for using the Ozobot Evo. With this experience, they can become equipped to inspire classroom creativity and help students learn key skills.
As you may already know, Ozobot’s, including the Ozobot Evo, can be programmed in one of two ways. Students can create code on paper using different colored markers and color codes or online using Ozobot’s block-based programming environment, OzoBlockly. The content that’s included with the Evo Educator Entry Kit provides educators with ample opportunity to learn about both as well as plenty of experience-based learning of their own. They’re able to take advantage of content designed exclusively for instructors who teach with the Ozobot Evo and learn new ways for making it work in their classroom.
This content is particularly helpful for educators who want to learn more about OzoBlockly. Ozobot’s online programming platform has five different levels and works with either the Ozobot Evo or the Ozobot Bit. It's powered and based off of Google’s Blockly language. The different levels progress in difficulty to accommodate both beginners and master block programmers. Within OzoBlockly, students can explore coding concepts, like loops, variables, logic, and functions, for example. Plus, teachers can learn how all of these features tie into teaching coding in the 21st century!
With the Evo Educator Entry Kit, educators can learn how to teach coding using color codes or online using OzoBlockly. It comes with an Ozobot Evo, charging cable, four color code markers, 150+ free STEAM and SEL lessons, and access to Ozobot's Educator Bot Camp! The Bot Camp includes three quick and self-guided courses for teachers. They help educators learn how to go from a student themselves to leading transformative STEM lessons!
In addition to this new option from Ozobot, teachers shouldn’t forget about the Evo Classroom Kits. One of two Evo Classroom Kits, the 18-pack comes with enough tools and materials for an entire class of kids. It supports students and educators with clear content and includes Ozobot skins, chargers, charts, a storage case, and more! This kit can certainly allow teachers to teach using Ozobot’s in a 1-to-1 environment or accommodate up to 54 students by facilitating collaborative coding. As many as three students can use one Ozobot Evo together!
The Evo 12-pack is also an option for those teachers working with slightly smaller class sizes. It comes with all of the same content in smaller quantities to support smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction. Also, teachers can explore the Evo app and get students collaborating and coding using the option that's best for them! All the lesson samples are still available to educators and the 12-pack, of course, comes at a more affordable cost.
