I made a work flow to convert the icons used in LEGO Spike and Essentials Robotics programs into 3D prints. The rationale is that some students will benefit from holding the blocks physically in their hands prior to moving them about in the coding programs.

The clip is 4X speed, and shortened, but you get the idea. The Ozobot robots followed the line, circled at the top, and raced to the finish line. It was the students’ first exposure to the robots, and it was very exciting.

Literally, since they following a line on paper. Sometimes they choose a random direction when lines intersect, which is all the more fun.
Here are Ozobot Evo robots in a kindergarten classroom.

This is how to turn on a Bee-Bot robot. There are three switches on the bottom that must be switched on.

The Bee-Bot robot is a programmable robot that has command buttons on its back. Forward, back, turn right, turn left, pause, go, etc.
Here are some images of the robot in action, as well as images of the slide dck lesson that introduced the topic.
Thank you to Stephanie Nielson for letting me photograph her class.
