Aiona’s innovative teaching idea, “Coding with Ozobots,” focuses on a hands-on way of learning technology. The project would afford students the opportunity to learn coding through team-based collaboration to get robots to perform and achieve certain missions. The Ozobot curriculum is designed to support Next Generation Science Standards and can also be used to integrate learning across subject areas to shorten the learning curve in the areas of computer science, S.T.E.A.M. education, robotics and technology.
