We can realize activities with Ozobot by creating a code from scratch with OzoBlockly – an online interface based on Blockly (a library developed by Google in order to bring young people closer to programming, akin to Scratch) – for either computer or tablet. Always select the Evo setting of OzoBlockly in the upper left corner – if you have Ozobot bit, select the setting bit; the codes will work in a different way –  and select your programming level from 1 to 5. The higher the level, the moreLEGGI TUTTO

In order to make the mBot stop when he finds an obstacle, we use the ultrasound sensor, placed in the eyes of the robot: one eye is the ultrasound transmitter (indicated by the letter T), whereas the other one is the receiver (indicated with the letter R). The ultrasound sensor allows us to let mBot know the distance of the object in front of him, without touching it. The transmitter emits an ultrasound signal, which is reflected by the object and goes back to the receiver. By measuring the intervalLEGGI TUTTO

In order to steer mBot, first of all we must teach him to stop, otherwise as soon as he starts moving, we lose control. We simply tell him that, when we press the spacebar (for example) he must go forward at zero speed. Then we make sure that, when this happens, all the lights are off. At this point, by always using the command when you press that button we tell him how to move, according to the key pressed: up arrow to go forward,down arrow to go back, rightLEGGI TUTTO

In the occasion of events, at school or during summer camps, we introduce some concepts of educational robotics by using a small educational robot, which can be found in shops  – mBot – and can be programmed by using mBlock (based upon Scratch, plus a library which allows us to act upon the robot). An assembly kit is provided, and it takes about half an hour to put it together. As a general rule, junior secondary school pupils manage to assemble it on their own, from the mechanical components to the elettronic boardLEGGI TUTTO

In this activity, you will learn to move Ozobot Evo through the use of Colour Code. The aim of the game is to make Ozobot move in a space maze, so as to reach as many exoplanets as possible, saving him from ending up in a black hole! For this activity, you need the following materials: four markers: 1 black, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 green an A3 printour of this maze Ozobot Evo Model of calibration Reference worksheet of colour codes Ozobot Evo has sensors capable of perceiving aLEGGI TUTTO

In the Universe, there are many planets orbiting around stars which are different from our Sun. They are called exoplanets. On 26 July 2020, all known extrasolar planets were 4301 in 3176 different planetary systems. The complete list of these planets is available within the list of confirmed extrasolar planets. It is never easy to observe them, because they are small, far away and do not emit light! There are various methods to detect them: among the most used ones, is the method of transits as well as the method ofLEGGI TUTTO
