New hands-on Ozobot and CYBER.ORG robotics lessons empower educators to teach foundational cybersecurity skills
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ozobot, a global leader in programmable robotics and STEAM-based learning solutions, today announced a new partnership with CYBER.ORG, the academic initiative of the Cyber Innovation Center and a national leader in K–12 cybersecurity education. Together, the organizations have developed eight hands-on lessons that use Ozobot's award-winning Evo coding robot to introduce cybersecurity concepts to students in grades K–5.
Aligned to CYBER.ORG's K–12 Cybersecurity Learning Standards, the new lessons are designed to make cybersecurity instruction accessible, engaging, and age-appropriate. Educators can access the lessons for free on both the CYBER.ORG learning platform and Ozobot Classroom, Ozobot's free online lesson library.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to preparing the next generation for a digital future. With cybersecurity playing an increasingly critical role in everyday life and the workforce, Ozobot and CYBER.ORG are equipping educators with the tools they need to build foundational awareness and spark early interest in cybersecurity careers.
"With this partnership, we're empowering educators to teach cybersecurity in a way that's interactive and fun for students," said Michaela Baruch, Vice President of Education Strategy at Ozobot. "It's another example of how robotics can make real-world topics come alive in the classroom."
Ozobot will demonstrate the new lessons at EdCon 2025, CYBER.ORG's annual educator conference taking place on June 16–18 in Chicago, IL. Conference attendees can experience the content in action at the Ozobot booth and educator sessions throughout the event.
"Ozobot's Evo robot is an exceptional tool for introducing students to coding, so we are thrilled to pair this technology with lessons grounded in CYBER.ORG's K12 Cybersecurity Learning Standards," said Dr. Laurie Salvail, Executive Director, CYBER.ORG. "Having tangible resources like the Evo robot truly elevates the classroom experience for students and helps them build strong foundational skills to navigate the digital world safely and confidently. We're excited to see how these lessons and activities spark curiosity and an interest in cyber!"
The co-developed lessons allow educators to integrate cybersecurity into their curriculum while reinforcing coding, problem-solving, and digital citizenship skills—no tech expertise is required.
