Learn computational thinking by programming the Sphero robot
Measure time, speed, distance and other metrics
Program specific functions such as motion, direction and more!
Navigate Sphero through terrains using an app or via code
In this course, Sphero will be used to introduce participants to foundational computer science concepts such as algorithms, variables and conditionals while allowing them to practise computational thinking in a project-based, fun and authentic environment. Sphero is a spherical robot toy that can be controlled by a smartphone or tablet. Designed for learner progression, Sphero can be programmed in dierent ways – by drawing, using block-based coding, or typing in Javascript. This course is great for instilling confidence in individuals when it comes to computer science so that when they encounter these concepts in the future, they will be better equipped to grasp them at a deeper level.
