Kindness, creativity and an exploration of technology came together for an engaging activity at Tamarac Elementary School, as third grade students in Kathleen Devine’s class used Ozobots in celebration of P.S. I Love You Day.

As part of the activity facilitated by technology integration specialist Claudia Camassa and art teacher Alexis Curcio, students used photographs of their own hands making the peace sign in American Sign Language. They then color coded a path around the photos to command movements from the Ozobots. Using different colors, students selected movements for the Ozobots to complete along the path, such as slow, fast, turbo, zigzag, spin and back walk.

Culminating the activity, students joined their peace sign photos around a large heart drawing which connected all of the peace signs, forming a singular path for the Ozobots to travel together. The collective creation of peace which formed the track for the Ozobots further symbolized the theme for P.S. I Love You Day this year, which is “Together We Rise.”
