Rolling Into STEM: Sparking Innovation with Sphero

Help me give my students the ability to learn programming, creativity, and teamwork with hands-on Sphero robots!

My Project

In our classroom, hands-on learning is the key to unlocking creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking. With the addition of Sphero robots, my students will have the opportunity to dive into the world of coding, robotics, and STEM in an exciting, interactive way.

Sphero robots are more than just fun; they teach students how to write code, think critically, collaborate with teammates, and engineer solutions to real-world problems.

Students will learn how to design programs that control the robots' movement, lights, and sounds — blending technology, math, and science into one engaging experience.

Our project will open doors for students who have never coded before and challenge those who already have experience. Whether they're programming their Sphero to navigate a maze, complete a design challenge, or tell a digital story, students will be developing essential 21st-century skills that will empower them far beyond the classroom.

By supporting this project, you’re helping my students become the innovators, coders, and problem-solvers of tomorrow!
