Camp Ozobot Adds New Campuses in Boston, Chicago, Denver, and Seattle
Certificated Educators Teaching Coding Concepts at Top Institutions
SAN RAFAEL, California (February 23, 2023):
US Sports Camps, the largest provider of sports camps in the world, announced an exciting development in their summer camp partnership with Ozobot, an award-winning creator of programmable robots and STEAM-based learning solutions for education.
Following a successful pilot campaign in 2022, Camp Ozobot will be coming to new regions of the U.S. – Denver, Seattle, Boston, Fairfield, and Chicago. The camps will utilize Ozobot coding solutions, including Color Codes and Ozobot Blockly, along with standards-aligned curriculum. Taught by credentialed educators, students ages 9 to 13 will engage with Evo, Ozobot’s coding robot, and work through critical thinking and problem solving to build coding literacy and enhance their skill set while learning real-world applications. Woven throughout each session are opportunities to collaborate and play with peers, express creativity and further computer science knowledge, all in a safe and fun environment.
“Camp Ozobot is a fun, learning environment that builds more than coding and robotics skills,” said Charlie Freund, Partnership Director for Youth Enrichment Brands at US Sports Camps, “We saw in our first summer that youth were gaining confidence, creativity, and making friends.”
“We’re excited to expand the Camp Ozobot network this summer alongside our awesome group of talented educators,” said Nicholas Brunner, Director of Business Development at Ozo Edu. “Kids love interacting with our robots and we’ll send them home happy and equipped with valuable skills in the important, ever-growing field of robotics and coding.”
Camps run Monday-Thursday, from 9:00am-4:00pm, at top-notch campuses such as Seattle University, Curry College, Lake Forest Academy and Fairfield University. Camp Ozobot 2023 registration is now open. Interested parents, youth and educators can visit the US Sports Camps website to sign up and learn more information.
