School: J M Ullom Elementary School, Las Vegas, NV
Planned By: Kimberly Bjerke
Original Author: Kimberly Bjerke, Las Vegas
Activity 1:
Students will plan and code a route have their Ozobot visit buildings in the local community by using codes such as left, right, u-turn, turbo and slow with 100% accuracy.

Younger students will start with simple paths - going from one building to another. Older students will have to move towards buildings in a specific order to successfully complete the challenge.

Steps
1. Locate the Start spot.
2. Follow the specific route within community.
3. Use color codes to have Ozobot follow the route to visit buildings in the local community.
4. Color codes: left, right, turbo, slow, u turn.

Activity 2:
Students will use Color Codes to program their Evo to complete a course.

Students will take out their Color Code Markers and the other pages of their activity sheets, where they'll find the map of the course. They will learn about the special moves that may be necessary to complete the course.

Steps:
1. As a group, they will decide the best way to get through the course from start to finish and in the quickest manner.
2. Groups will compete against one another in a bracket to see which group is the winner.
3. The winning group from each match-up will have the opportunity to make changes to their code prior to the next race.
4. The final winner will have the opportunity to design their own race course for students to code.
Comments
These materials will be used throughout the year with a variety of lessons and activities.
Cross-Curriculum Ideas
Mathematics - calculating distance and time to complete path/maze
Follow-Up
Once students have learned how to draw simple paths, they will draw more complex paths with questions/answers and also utilize the online platform to program their Ozobot Evo.
