This project aligns to the BSC Engagement focus area of STEM education. Every student in grades 4-7 will see a physical representation of the program they create in Computer Class through Coding. The Sphero robots would give immediate feedback on their code, allowing them to run through a scenario multiple times to change and improve the code. The feedback works naturally into the engineering design process. Students would have a visual giving clear feedback in a way that coding within a computer program can not show as effectively or as clearly. To foster the collaboration between classes, in Technical Engineering, students would create a maze one week, which students in Computer Class, using the Sphero robots would need to figure out how to complete.
