Awesome Ozo by Peter

Have you ever seen an Ozobot tour New York State?? We have in Room 217.  Our class had lots of fun learning how to code.  

An Ozobot is a mini robot that can fit in the palm of your hand.  It has a brain that reads color patterns.  Ozobots can read the colors red, green, blue and black.  We used markers to highlight different things on our New York State Maps.  We used the color red for mountains, the color blue for lakes and rivers and the color green for the states that border New York.  Whatever color line the Ozobot went over, it would turn that color.  

We also coded our Ozobots using OzoCodes to do cool tricks like spinning, turning and moving fast or slow.  The OzoCode for spin is green, red, green, red.  We learned the rules for coding pretty quickly. For example, drawing lines that are thick enough for the Ozobot to read and even putting the right colors in the correct order.  You don’t want to overlap colors or the Ozobot won’t read your code.     

It was lots of fun using Ozobots to learn about New York State.  You should try them, too!
