OzoThings: Our November Favorites

As we make the transition to the holidays, we want to stop and reflect on the gratitude season, as it’s given us much to celebrate! From November’s Outstanding Educator Spotlight, to the launch of our new, free 3D CAD Library Lessons, and a 3D printer giveaway, we love the season of giving. 

Many of you celebrated STEM/STEAM Day this month with some amazing projects in the classroom. Keep reading to see some of our favorite projects and STEAM activities from this month!

With the city skyline ready to go and the roads cleared away, these creative students sent their Evo balloon floats all through the city. From kitties to bear cubs and even Pikachu, all could be seen in this festive parade!

All Together Now!

It has been an exciting day over at @AlexIIEinsteins !2nd grade created parade floats, 3rd grade took on the news team role, 4th grade designed the city & parade route, and a 5th grade student is recording and editing it all! @BibbSchools @Ozobot @AppleEDU pic.twitter.com/Hnu7Sx7uDC

Students from 2nd grade through 5th grade put their creative minds together to make a parade to remember. Everyone had their role and played it to perfection. Great teamwork in this month of togetherness!

Kinder Smarties or Coding Smarties? Mrs. Cristina Perez and her students learned all about color codes this past STEAM Day!

Sustainable Communities

We had an amazing time in our #TinkerLab @SASchina today. Students are using @Ozobot to provide a virtual tour of their #sustainable and #viable communities. #coding #tech #sustainability pic.twitter.com/nOEir8zeMh

In this STEAM activity, Kurtis Schoenberg and his students used Color Codes to draw out sustainable communities. His students had to plan ahead for different resources their community would need. Such a fun and creative activity!

Veteran’s Day

Today, these 2nd grade Bolivia Bears created code for the @Ozobot to follow to celebrate the events that led to the creation of our Veterans' Day holiday. #BCSEdChat pic.twitter.com/1fSaXnqxaf

Students in Jeannie Timken’s 2nd-grade class studied the history of Veteran’s Day, using Evo to follow the events of this special national holiday. Hats off to Jeannie for teaching these young coders the importance of supporting and celebrating our Veterans.

Is That Evo or a Ping Pong Ball?!

6th grade #Robotics quizzed each other on the parts of an #Ozobot. Using pen and a ping pong ball, engineers were asked to draw/label the parts of the🤖. Students watched over their #MockBot for a week and exchanged it today for an @Ozobot! #100daysofcode #100daysofcoding pic.twitter.com/WtiwWWKa3C

Evo is one small, yet mighty robot! These Robotic students studied the in’s and out’s of Evo and took care of their designated ‘MockBot’ in order to prepare them for the real deal!

Thank you to all our educators who shared their students’ creations. We love seeing all of your ideas and creativity! Keep the wonderful ideas and STEAM activities coming, and be sure to tag @Ozobot or #Ozobot in your creations this summer for a chance to be featured in our next roundup of favorite #OzoThings.
