My robotics classes are filled with kids who are waiting to get their hands-on experience, but with one small problem: we do not have robots! Students have explored the history of robotics, the use of robotics and automation in the nation's industry, and have explored just what a robot is and what makes something a robot.
My students have started to code in HTML and Javascript as well as block coding and are developing their programming skills, and now they need robots to put those skills to use.
The Sphero SPRK+ robots are a perfect introduction, since the Sphero Edu system implements Scratch to control these nifty little robotic balls.
My students will learn how to do event-driven robotics programming using the block coding they are already using, and will learn to control the wide variety of sensors the Sphero SPRK+ robots use, to challenge each other and explore. The Sphero Edu system will also accept Java Script and will be ready for them when they are ready for a text-based language. These fun little spherical robots are fun and not intimidating for the newest of users, but are also sophisticated enough to keep my students on the ball!
