A New Chapter in Educational Robotics
Meet Ozobot Ari—a groundbreaking educational robot purpose-built to shift how students engage with learning in the classroom. Designed with the modern educator in mind, Ari empowers teachers to use coding as a tool for learning, not the end goal. This aligns with a powerful educational philosophy: “code to learn, not learn to code.”
As schools nationwide seek to equip students with 21st-century skills, Ari arrives at a pivotal time. Rather than isolating coding in computer science or STEAM electives, Ari brings coding into every classroom—across subjects like math, science, ELA, social studies, and the arts—helping educators meet key learning standards while increasing engagement and comprehension.
What Sets Ari Apart: A Robot Built for the Real Classroom
Ari stands apart from other educational robots by prioritizing accessibility, adaptability, and ease of use:
- Screen-free & app-enabled: Whether you’re working with early elementary students or middle schoolers, Ari adapts. Younger learners can code with color code markers and paper and advance to block-based and text coding via Ozobot Editor.
- Cross-device compatibility: Ari connects with Chromebooks and computers, making it a flexible fit for 1:1 classrooms or shared device settings.
- Durable & classroom-ready: Designed to withstand the realities of classroom use, Ari’s compact size, sturdy build and convenient storage bin make it easy to deploy across grade levels.
- Inclusive by design: With options for tactile input and visual prompts, Ari supports learners with a range of abilities and learning preferences.
Whether you’re teaching a group of kindergartners exploring habitats or middle schoolers modeling the water cycle, Ari seamlessly supports project-based, cross-curricular learning.
The Educational Power of “Code to Learn”
Coding Across the Curriculum
With Ari, coding isn’t just about writing instructions—it becomes a vehicle for problem-solving and inquiry in every subject:
- Science: Program Ari to navigate a map of the human digestive system or simulate a pollination journey, such as “Ari’s Pollination Garden” lesson.
- Math: Use loops and conditionals to model patterns, graph movement, or solve logic-based word problems.
- ELA: Reinforce narrative structure by coding Ari through a story arc; teach grammar rules through conditional movement.
- Social Studies: Recreate historical journeys or simulate a robot “debate” with programmed perspectives.
- Art: Combine creativity with coding as students choreograph a robotic dance or design algorithmic art.
These experiences reinforce computational thinking, critical analysis, and creativity—all while anchoring lessons in core content areas.
Building Future-Ready Skills
Ari helps students develop:
- Digital literacy through hands-on tech use
- Logical reasoning as they debug and refine their code
- Collaborative skills through pair programming and team challenges
- Perseverance by approaching failure as part of the process
Why Ari Is a Smart Investment for Schools & Districts
Ari builds on the award-winning Ozobot robotics platform as a scalable, standards-aligned solution for districts focused on:
- Equity & access: With screen-free entry points and differentiated instruction built in, Ari works for diverse learners and classrooms.
- Curriculum integration: Aligns with NGSS, CSTA, and state-specific frameworks, making it easy to map to existing units.
- Professional learning: Ozobot offers turnkey implementation support for teachers–zero coding experience required.
- Long-term value: Use Ari across multiple grade levels and subjects, reducing the cost-per-use over time and maximizing your edtech ROI.
A New Era of Learning Starts Now
Ozobot Ari is more than a robot—it’s a bridge between engaging classroom content and positive student outcomes. By turning code into a language for learning, Ari gives educators a powerful new way to engage students from any background in every subject.
