The Ozobot Challenge Mat: Ocean Explorer takes coding under the sea. Students code their Evo robot on a journey through four ocean zones — from sunlit shallows to the darkest depths — combining real coding skills with marine science, archaeology and ecology. They start with the Exploration Basics cards to master the fundamentals of Ozobot Blockly, then take on tougher missions with the Deep Exploration cards. It's a durable, reusable mat sized to fit most classroom desks.
Explore four ocean zones:
- Intertidal — code Evo to highlight the plants and animals where land meets the sea
- Sunlight — take part in an underwater archaeological dig for ancient treasures
- Twilight — code Evo to "photograph" the strange creatures of the deep
- Midnight — dive to the ocean floor to study and navigate coral reefs
What's included:
- A premium 61 × 84 cm (24″ × 33″) coding mat that fits most desks
- Exploration Basics and Deep Exploration challenge cards
- Accessories made for Evo
- Access to standards-aligned lessons in Ozobot Classroom
Along the way, students build programming logic, problem-solving and spatial awareness — plus a real curiosity about marine science and ecology. They can code screen-free with Colour Codes or dive into Ozobot Blockly. The mat is designed for use with an Ozobot Evo robot and a compatible device (both sold separately), and its durable, reusable design stands up to repeated expeditions. Using Ari? Ozobot provides 3D CAD files so you can print Ari-compatible accessories.
