Sphero

Around March 20 each year, the Sun sits directly over the equator, officially marking the start of astronomical spring in the Northern Hemisphere! 🌎☀️ What better way to explore space science than with a hands-on coding challenge? bit.ly/4i8QWF9

Today was full of innovation, collaboration, and possibilities! Region 11 educators joined us for the @Sphero STEM & Computer Science Symposium, exploring coding, robotics, and real-world problem solving with tools like Sphero indi, BOLT+, and RVR+. 📷: bit.ly/ESC11SpheroSym…

@claudiaLzn @DonorsChoose @TISDRES Congratulations! 🎉

Podium Sweep! My 3rd/4th graders used their new @Sphero BOLT+ robots from my @DonorsChoose project to take 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd place in yesterday’s #SpheroGlobalChallenge! 🏆 Huge congratulations to these 3 teams and to 1 of our Indi teams who took 2nd place! @TISDRES #GT #Robotics

This Saturday, March 14th, is Pi Day! It's not just a reason to eat pie… but a day to celebrate the magic of math! 🥧 In this lesson, students can learn to use Python to control RVR+'s speed and spin to achieve specific circle circumferences. bit.ly/411oSfD

After listening to Jamie O’Rourke and the Big Potato, students put their coding skills to work by programming their Indi robots to travel all the way to the potato! A fun mix of literacy and STEM in action. 🥔🤖📚@Sphero @SpheroEdu @CanyonSpringsDV @DVUSD

This Year 5 class built their own town and then coded “autonomous vehicles” to travel between locations. 🚗 They successfully achieved collision-free navigation, and each vehicle announced its arrivals along the way! Credit: @St_Richards_RC

Notice something different? 👀 The updated layout makes it easier to find and navigate available blocks, so students can spend less time searching and more time creating. Want to switch it up? Head to Settings → Block Canvas Orientation and select your preferred layout.

@Jamesqpayne @Crockett_MS @iisdCTE @IrvingISD @IISD_iLearn @dpvils Congratulations! 🎉

These @Crockett_MS Cougars LOCKED IN today and took 2nd in RVR and 1st in Mystery Mission at @Sphero Global in Dallas! @iisdCTE @IrvingISD @IISD_iLearn @dpvils

@ChadTLemons @SpheroEdu Incredible! 😲

I absolutely love the innovation from this team. Yesterday, they struggled with the taller obstacles. Today, they utilized the easy disassembly feature of Blueprint kits to create a breakaway front end that becomes a ramp! #StVrainAdvantage @SpheroEdu

@ChadTLemons These designs are awesome! We love how you're using Blueprint to prototype improvements for RVR+. 👏

@Sphero Blueprint assembles quickly, allowing students to prototype multiple ideas in a single class period. I love their creative discussions around weight distribution, traction, and exploring the kit components for innovative and unconventional ideas. #StVrainAdvantage

Happy National Engineers Week! This week is the perfect time to spark students' excitement about engineering. From first designs to final builds, we love seeing future engineers in the making build, test, and rethink their way to learning with Blueprint Engineering and Snap.

Had the BEST time w/ Mrs. Mansey and her amazing 1st graders for a Healthy Foods @SpheroEdu activity! Students learned about algorithms/ practiced sequencing to program Indi. They worked together to plan, test, & debug their code. Incredible teamwork & problem-solving skills!

8th graders at Stonegate Elementary learned about the challenges salmon face during migration—then explored them in a hands-on way. Students designed their own migration-inspired obstacle courses and coded their robots to navigate them. Credit: marshmallow_minds / Instagram

Sphero Pong was a highlight of yesterday's STEM Camp! The children programmed the @Sphero BOLT+ to change heading with every collision. They experimented with angles, speed and other important factors to make the game more fun and appropriately challenging. #STEM

Ms. Mingo’s grades K-3 students loved painting with our @Sphero Bolts to create Valentine’s Day hearts for their families! @PortsVASchools @jennthomas75 #PPStrt

The Winter Games are in full swing ❄️ How are you bringing the excitement to your classroom? Check out our lesson library full of gold-medal ideas: spherocentral.com

Bring a classic Valentine's Day expression, poetry, to life in your classroom with Haiku Robots! In this lesson, students will write their own haikus and bring them to life using light, sound, and movement. Explore more inspiration for Valentine's Day at spherocentral.com.

First graders are learning about Ancient Civilizations so today they programmed these @Sphero Indi robots to deliver a message just like the Inca Runners used to do! #STEM @SallyKRide

@andermm1 Awesome coding!

I always have mixed feelings when one ENCORE rotation ends & another begins, however I’m always impressed with ss skill development & persistence in problem solving. 7th gr @Sphero coding challenge #sd113a #WeAreOQ #oqms

I assigned my students the task of creating inventions from the Industrial Revolution era using the @Sphero Blueprint kit. @HumbleISD_DDI @HumbleISD_ARMS @humble_SocSt
