It’s no secret that we love STEM activities here and coding for kids. These fun Ozobot coding ideas will help you explore the potential of your bot!

Science is one of our favorites, but as my kids have gotten older, we’ve started to explore the technology side of STEM more including coding for kids. 

Monkey has had a fascination with coding and robots since she was in preschool, and she’s taken several coding courses. So of course, when Ozobot asked us if we wanted to try out the Evo, we had to say yes.

We really didn’t know what to expect from a coding robot, but it turns out, the Ozobot Evo coding robot is even more adorable and fun than we could have possibly guessed! It is the perfect accessory for screen-free coding. 

Learning to code is a valuable skill for kids. But not all coding has to happen on screen. Screen free coding is possible with the Ozobot Evo!

This Ozobot coding activity is one of our favorite technology activities for kids!

Ozobot Coding Ideas for Evo

When Evo arrived, we were a bit intimated by all the pieces, but we watched the Ozobot coding video below which put us at ease. This post contains affiliate links.

While you can do tons of coding through the app with Ozobot Evo, I wanted to try the screen-free side of coding first for a few reasons.

  1. Bo was with me, and she’s not ready for app-based coding.
  2. My kids spend tons of time on screens already, so we wanted something off-screen this time.

The first thing we did was complete some of the coding challenges that were included with our Evo kit. Luckily, she came fully charged so we didn’t have to wait.

If you want a quick way to play with Evo, just put her on the play puzzle mat! Bo thought this was the best thing ever.

When Monkey got home, she wanted to come up with her own games for Ozobot Evo to play.

How to Play Pick a Dinosaur Ozobot Coding

So we came up with the Pick a Dinosaur game.

We drew lines following the handy coding chart using the included markers to build a course for her. Then we let Evo loose and let her pick her favorite dinosaur. We ran her through the course about 20 times, and calculated how often she picked each dinosaur.

She picked the red one most often!

We are so excited to see what else we can do with our Evo, with more screen-free coding projects and projects using the app!

Watch us play with our Ozobot Evo in this cute video!

About Brenda Priddy

Brenda grew up thinking she hated science.

But when her 4-year- old daughter was more interested in reading science facts than fairy tales, Brenda realized she had to learn more about science to keep up with her daughter.

Through simple at-home science experiments, Brenda developed a passion for science and now acts as an advocate for STEM education for kids at her website STEAMsational.com.
