Introduce Your Child to Coding with Ozobot – A Social Robot
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.
Summertime is here and the kids are immersing themselves in video games and YouTube. While these can be fun, wouldn’t you feel better if they were playing with technology AND learning something? I know I would! This year, our 5th grader took a Coding class at school and he talked about what he learned at dinner. This peaked the interest in our youngest son. Unfortunately, our 9 year old is not old enough to take the Coding Class at school, however, he can still learn coding!
Thanks to Best Buy, we had the opportunity to check out the Ozobot Evo. Our 9 year old (and 11 year old) loved it!!! I recently learned STEM (when I read about Kamau Bobb), which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. STEM products encourage kids to develop core skills in these areas. At Best Buy, you’ll find products from basic learning games to advanced toys designed to stimulate a child‘s mind in the STEM areas, helping to develop logic and problem solving skills.

In addition to the Ozobot Evo Starter Pack, you’ll find the Ozobot Bit Starter Pack (SKU 5734607) at Best Buy. With the Ozobot 2.0 Bit Starter Pack, your child will draw colorful designs that Bit’s optical sensors read as movement commands. Ozobot is unique in that the initial learning is understanding that colors can dictate action, which leads to cause/effect building blocks for future programming. You’ll find over 20 activities included with the Ozobot Bit Starter Pack and even more that are downloadable from the Ozobot app. The product is ideal for ages 6 and up and retails for $59.99.
I highly recommend the Ozobot Evo Starter Pack for families with kids who are interested in technology and coding! A big thanks to Best Buy for this opportunity to check it out and share about it.

I love this. I’ve seen it once before and I think it’s so cool and kids will love it! I’m getting it for my grandson!
Both of my boys learn some coding in school, so this sounds like a great way to reinforce what they are learning 🙂
I love this! It’s such a great way to get the kids excited about STEM. It’s the future, and the kids need to be at the forefront of it.
We actually have one of these for the kids, and they love it. It’s a lot of fun for them, and it gets their noodles noodling, which I think is incredibly important.
I’ve heard of this and think it’s a genius idea! I can’t wait for my nephews to be old enough to try it!
I’ve never seen these in Best Buy, I’ll have to look for one. My daughter is almost 12 and loves this sort of thing.
My nephews would love this coding pack. Both of them love anything to do with computers or science.
I’ve been seeing these around everywhere and they look awesome and it gets kids to really think and also make it fun. i think that is a very important combo. totally recommend it to all my friends with kids.
This looks great for kids and I like the idea of keeping them busy. Thanks for sharing!!
I don’t even know a lot about coding so your kids are ahead of the game. STEM seems to be so important especially in the summer when kids can lose what they have gained during the school year.
This must be such a rewarding way to the kids to learn coding. Seeing their programming choices in action must be fun!
STEM is so important. I love that there are so many cool toys now to get kids interested in it.
This is definitely a great product. My son is only four but it would be great as he got older.
What an awesome product! There are so many products on the market today that teach children valuable technology skills along with math and science. I wish they would have had products like this when I was a child.
Love this! Coding is soo important! The earlier they learn, the quicker this becomes a part of their world.
I really thought this would be more expensive. This is such a valuable skill to have. It’s a great idea to start teaching your kids young. Thanks!
I think this is so great! It is so important to get kids involved in STEM early on, and this robot is such a great way to encourage them. I will have to look into getting one of these for my son.
What a fun way to boost a child’s stem education. I would love to get this for my twin granddaughters.
This is great! I want to get this for my 8 year old! He’s told me he’s learned a little bit about coding in school, so I’m certain he’ll pick it up without a problem. I mean this is the future right?
Great way to teach your child about technology. Kids in today’s generation are techies and fast-learners! I want to get one for my kids

My kids were really lucky to get a set of these when they first came out years ago. They love how these bots can trace their codes.
considering how technological our society has become, learning this at a young age, or at least trying it out, is a great thing to do! Looks fun too!
We have an ozobot and it’s so fun! This is such a great toy to introduce your kids to the concept of coding. My neice and nephew were so excited to get to play with it and spent hours mapping out new pathways.
This is a great way to get a child interested in STEM subjects. I spoil my grandchildren with toys, but only toys that encourage learning and discovery. I will get an Ozobot for them.
I love this! I think Coding is an important skill to learn nowadays and will definitely be beneficial for kids in their future

I love getting toys for my grandchildren. However, I am picky with the kinds I get. It should not be enough that they have fun. They should be able to learn too. I love the Ozobot. I’m getting this for them.
Oh, wow! This is so cool. We love coding toys, but have never seen this one before 🙂
