Abstract

The authors of the article focus on Computation thinking. The aim of the article is any motivate the student primary and secondary (high) schools using robotic toys: Ozobot EVO. The theoretical part of the thesis consists of a description of the motivation and a description of Computational thinking. The practical part shows the topics on how to work with Ozobots and how to involve them in teaching. The level of thinking of young people is very low, for this reason, we have set ourselves the goal of developing thinking using algorithms.
