Creative Play as Students Engage in Coding
Elementary students are engaged in coding and creating with small robots
that combine the physical and digital worlds. Librarian Selinda Stout
introduced them to Ozobots and the students immediately started to
navigate the simple and easy to use robots. “I have never seen them
more excited,” Ms. Stout said of the students who are so eager to open
the bins that house the robots. Once they become familiar with the
color-based coding – a visual way for them to understand coding and
programming – they will be tasked with fun, educational and grade-level
appropriate activities while having the freedom to create their own.
