A Free Ozobot Lesson from STEM with M
When we think about teaching digital technologies, our minds often jump straight to tablets and screens. But in the early years, some of the most meaningful learning happens when children are moving, creating and discovering through hands-on experiences.
For many teachers, the challenge is finding ways to introduce coding in a way that feels simple, engaging and developmentally appropriate - without adding more screen time or prep load.
That’s where the Ozobot Bit+ Entry Kit comes in!
This clever little robot follows drawn lines and colour patterns, helping students develop sequencing, logic and debugging skills in an engaging and accessible way. With every movement, children are building foundational coding and digital technology skills through play.
With everything included in the box, from markers to helpful guides, students can experiment, problem-solve and explore coding concepts with confidence.
To help you get started, we’ve partnered with STEM educator and creator Morgan McKeen @STEMwithM, who has designed a fun, zero-prep lesson you can bring straight into your classroom!
