Ari is set to redefine how STEM and core content are taught across all grade levels, from Pre-K to university. With its intuitive Android-powered touchscreen and app ecosystem, Ari goes beyond teaching coding—it transforms core subject learning into engaging, interactive student experiences. This latest innovation empowers students to explore and demonstrate their understanding of key concepts in exciting, hands-on ways. For educators, Ari offers a time-saving, versatile platform that seamlessly integrates STEM and core content into everyday lessons, elevating classroom learning for all.

"With Ari, we're not just teaching coding; we're equipping students with the skills they need to thrive in a tech-driven world," said Andy Fathollahi, Chief Executive Officer of Ozobot. "This is the future of education - interactive, engaging, and built to inspire."

Key Innovative Features:

• High-Resolution Interactive Touchscreen: Vivid text, animations, and instant feedback bring lessons to life
• Android-Powered App Platform: Customizable app ecosystem supports differentiated learning across diverse skill levels
• Extensive Sensor Suite: Accelerometers, gyroscopes, time-of-flight, pick-up, and IR sensors enable real-time interaction, helping students grasp STEM concepts through physical movement 
• Multi-Level Coding Methods: Students can program Ari using Color Codes, Ozobot Blockly, or Python, with more programming methods coming soon
• Curriculum Integration: Ready-to-use, standards-aligned lessons for STEM, computer science, and core subjects, including 100+ newly designed Ari-specific lessons
• Ozobot Editor Integration: Compatible with Ozobot's newest programming tool, enabling students to program multiple robots, including Evo, Ari, and ORA, using block-based Blockly or Python, with real-time multi-bot interaction

Ari's hands-on approach aligns with evidence-based practices, such as The Learning Pyramid, highlighting that active participation boosts retention by up to 75% (National Training Laboratories, Bethel, Maine). By encouraging physical interaction through its sensor suite and touchscreen, Ari ensures students grasp and retain STEM concepts more effectively.

Fathollahi added, "Ari reimagines how STEM and core content are taught in classrooms. Its innovative design and ready-to-use curriculum give students a unique opportunity to engage with lessons and demonstrate understanding like never before."
