My Project

These tiny robots are more than just toys! Sphero Minis will transform our classroom into a dynamic learning environment where students can:

Become Coding Champions: Sphero Minis are programmable robots.

Students will learn coding basics by writing instructions that make the robots move, light up, and react to their environment. This builds computational thinking skills like problem-solving, logic, and critical thinking – all essential for success in the 21st century!

Explore Science & Math in Action: Sphero Minis can be used to explore scientific concepts like motion, speed, and acceleration. Students can program them to navigate mazes, race each other, or even recreate planetary orbits! They'll also gain practical experience with geometry and measurement as they design Sphero's paths.

Unleash Creativity & Collaboration: Sphero Minis are a blank canvas for imaginative play. Students can work together to program light shows, create obstacle courses, or even design their own Sphero Mini games. This fosters collaboration, communication, and teamwork skills – all while having a ton of fun!
