About this lesson
Students will utilize Ozobots and colour coding technology to experiment with introductory robotics concepts.
In this exciting hands-on program, students will utilize Ozobots and colour coding technology to experiment with introductory robotics concepts like linear coding methods and colour sensing. Students will build on their hands-on problem-solving skills by working to navigate through fun puzzles and mini games. This lesson also connects computational thinking in robotics, with the idea of symbols as communication in early societies. Paired with the museum’s unparalleled atmosphere and commitment to learning, students will explore concepts and capabilities of visual coding in a computer science context.
