Ozobot 2.0 Bit, the Educational Toy Robot that Teaches STEM and Coding, Crystal White Review (OZO-020101-01)

Got this for my 10-year old daughter after she showed some interest in programming through an app that you need to preset some directional commands. She seems to really like it. We had it trace some lines we made with marker, (you need to make the lines about 1/4" wide or the ozobot gets confused) talked with it on the provided "yes/no/maybe" sheet and had fun with the app. . The app is really well designed and allows for learning as you go through progressing stages of difficulty challenges. We did find that you need to turn the brightness all the way up on the ipad in order for the robot to register the lines consistently. The unit itself allows for some personalization through different colored "helmets" (what my daughter called them) that you can buy online. It comes with one in the package, ours was white. . I think this is a great toy that helps the development of basic coding principles. The fact that not every code will work perfectly because of the physical interaction between the ozobot and the line on the page/card/app is a good lesson in controlling your variables. Something that "grown up" coders need to consider. . I would recommend this to other parents with budding engineers, programmers, or simply curious "gizmo" kids. Works for both boys and girls. . I paid full price for this. Never received anything for my review - i read other reviews that had trouble and claims of "all positive reviews" were paid reviews. Not true in my case. It does not work perfectly every time the first time. Neither does any real code. This teaches some persistence and troubleshooting skills. I also read some reviews where people say this is just a line following gimmick with no real code teaching value. Also not true in my case. We were able to make it follow lines, but also make it do little special moves using the provided color codes. As for "real coding value" the most basic coding is defining predefined commands and then having something execute those commands for a desired outcome. That is exactly what this device does. I believe this teaches the purest form of coding - where the human doesn't need to learn flamboyant languages like pascal, but coding happens organically through human-machine interfaces. I believe this is the future of coding. -N. Carolyn
