My Project

These Sphero littleBits Coding Kits will be so helpful for many grade levels and multiple classes in computer science. These hands-on building and coding kits are ideal for our students' needs.

Students learn such valuable skills with physical computing and coding devices, far more than just screen-based programming alone.

My students love anything that combines creativity and computer science. These Sphero littleBits Coding Kits are the perfect combination to mesh both of those. These kits will inspire the next generation of creators and coders with hands-on physical computing, exploration, and design.
