The Sphero appears to be a simple robot. However, it is amazing how many science, technology, engineering and math concepts go into getting one to perform a small task. So, before you begin, you must start by exploring what the Sphero is capable of.
You will NOT need your device until the Practice assignment.
First, go to Google Classroom, click on the Robotics Project Topic and find the Explore assignment. Once there, be sure to click on the Sphero quiz. This is a locked quiz and you will only be able to take it once. Please watch the videos (as many times as you need to) and answer the questions accordingly. Once your entire team has finished with the quiz, you may move onto the Practice assignment together.
Next, go to the Google PlayStore and install/open SpheroEdu. (You may want to pin it as well for the rest of the unit.)
Click 'Sign in with account' then 'Join a Class' as a 'Learner' and then 'Sign in with Google,' and select your school account.
Once you have completed setting up an account and open up the SPHERO EDU APP. Hover over the 'PROGRAMS ICON' and CREATE a new program to get to the programming canvas to explore the app.
Reference the videos below if you need help connecting, troubleshooting or charging your device.
When you are finished, you may move on to the Sphero Practice page.
