Discovering Ozobots: A hands-on workshop full of color, technology, and children's laughter
On Friday, June 26, 2026, the Schildesche district library invites children aged 8 to 12 to a free STEM hands-on afternoon. From 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the little Ozobot will be the focus: a robot that is programmed with color codes and introduces children to robotics and logical thinking in a playful way. The event is part of the nationwide Digital Day and requires registration through the district library. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1710496?utm_source=openai))
Playfully programming and tinkering together
Here, learning becomes a family experience: children discover how colorful lines form a functioning route. The Ozobot reacts to color codes and makes programming accessible without prior knowledge. According to the Media Lab Bielefeld, working with Ozobots promotes skills in media and computer science, nature and technology, mathematics, as well as teamwork and social skills.

Age-appropriate, child-friendly, and with real learning fun
The age specification is clear: the offer is aimed at children aged 8 to 12 years. Thus, the workshop is particularly suitable for families looking for a comprehensible, safe, and educationally valuable activity. The combination of crafting, experimenting, and collaborative problem-solving strengthens concentration, frustration tolerance, and creative thinking.

What families can expect here
The afternoon combines technical fun with a calm, well-guided learning environment. Children experience how simple color patterns become a route, and they gain initial experience in thinking in steps, patterns, and rules. This creates a lively mix of discovery, wonder, and joint experimentation for families. ([medienlabor-bielefeld.de](https://www.medienlabor-bielefeld.de/ozobot))
Conclusion: This workshop brings technology to touch, promotes age-appropriate learning, and provides families with valuable time together. Anyone looking for a free, well-structured, and age-appropriate holiday or afternoon tip will experience a strong Digital Day here with real participation.
