My Project

I am currently working with 275 students this year in my Computer Science classes. My students come from various backgrounds and could benefit significantly from using Sphero Terrain Park kits. Computer Science is more than just coding, it involves science, engineering, math, and many other content areas.

The Sphero Terrain Park kits will allow students to ramp, roll and ride the rails with their Sphero Bots.

With five challenging configurations, the customizable Sphero Terrain Park will put my students' skills to the ultimate test. These terrain kits will increase kinesthetic movement which is a large component seen in games and physical education classes. These highly engaging Terrain Park kits will require students to work together as a team, problem-solve, and work on stability and object control. Help give my students Sphero Terrain Park kits!
