Programming Mini Robots with Blockly

Putt Putt Golf Challenge

Program your Ozobot in Blockly Editor to get a hole-in-one using a physical 5-hole putt putt course.

The Ozobot Evo is a mini robot that you can program in one of two ways: 1) by using colored markers, or 2) by utilizing block coding from a computer.

In this program you will be introduced to the hardware and robotic components of the Ozobot Evo. You will learn the basics of operating the Ozobot Evo including turning it on/off, and calibrating it, and then venture into blockly coding to program and control your robot.

Learners will be challenged to code the Ozobot Evo using Ozobot blockly editor to create a program for a 5-hole Putt Putt golf course. The Ozobot Evo will act as your golf ball.  You will need to create and run your program so that Ozobot Evo can navigate over and or around obstacles from the 5-hole putt putt golf course.  You only get 6 strokes/attempts per hole so plan accordingly before running your program.  The team with the fewest strokes/attempts wins!  Careful planning and strategy are needed to write a program that will win this coding challenge.  Each team consists of 2 players. Program is limited to 10 participants. 

This program was designed for 4th grade and up, but younger children may attend if an adult/guardian/caregiver is present to assist them throughout the program. Each child in sixth grade or younger attending the program must be directly supervised and assisted by a responsible caregiver while in the Studio. Most ACPL programs welcome guests, however the Studio programs can only accommodate registered patrons and their supervising caregivers.  

Space is limited: Register in advance to reserve your spot and receive reminders. Registration will guarantee your seat until the event begins.
