Sphero Bolt to the Rescue!

Help me give my students a more updated version of the Sphero SPRK+.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Tilton's classroom raised $891

My Project

In my STEM class, I do a robot unit so my students can have experience with different robots. Currently I borrow my LMC teacher's outdated Sphero SPRK+ but they are slowly becoming extinct.

Sphero Bolts would make a huge difference on what my STEM students can do with them!

I have one already and boy does it make a difference from the SPRK+ robot. They can control them using an iPad and students can write code to make them follow their directions.

Times are a changing and so are robots! I am always trying to find updated robots so that my students stay engaged in the unit.
