Ozobot's Evo is a smarter, more social coding robot

Ozobot's Bit impressed us a few years ago with its simply take on programming education: kids just need to draw lines on a piece of paper or mobile device to program the tiny robot. As they get more comfortable, they can start to program on mobile devices and computers. Now Ozobot is taking a major step forward with the 100 Evo, a new robot that has sensors to interact with its environment, lights, a speaker and social capabilities. While Ozobot's previous devices were aimed directly at kids, it's hoping that Evo can break through to high schoolers and even college students, according to founder and CEO Nader Hamda. The new bot has a shot of appealing to older students simply because it can do a lot more than before.
