Integrate coding into all subjects. Ozobots, small robots with optical sensors can be programmed with lines drawn with markers and paper, apps on iPad, and the OzoBlockly site on other devices such as PCs or Chromebooks. Students learn sequential thinking, syntax and debugging while creating racecourses, mazes and playing games.
