FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Withrow's classroom raised $599

This project is fully funded

My Project

The Sphero Mini Robot Balls will bring tons of learning, fun, action, and adventure into my classroom! With the "Sphero Edu" app, students will be able to code and program their mini-robots to do a variety of tasks. They will be able to drive their robots, change their Sphero Mini robot colors, and code their robots with different games.

My students will build mazes and obstacle courses and code their Sphero Mini Robots through their a-MAZE-ing adventures!

Coding with Sphero Mini Robots brings excitement and hours of engaging. Our first use will be to make their way across the Oregon Trail as we study Westward Movement.
