Design a miniature golf course hole for Sphero to navigate. Consider:

• How different surfaces will affect Sphero’s movement

• How the angles of a course affect Sphero’s movement

• How courses are designed to be challenging

Your hole must include:

• 3 different types of surfaces (aluminum foil, wax paper, sandpaper, felt, etc.)

• An acute angle and an obtuse angle

• At least one obstacle

• a clear starting point

• hole at the end of the course

Map out your design on graph paper. Be sure to label the different surfaces and any other special features.

Build your course using the materials provided.

Open the Sphero EDU app and select programs from the bottom of the page. Do NOT sign into the app.

Hit the Plus sign in the bottom right hand corner, name your program and select Draw or Blocks as the type of program you will be creating.

Program Sphero to navigate the course. Be sure to take into account how Sphero will react to the different surfaces and obstacles.
