Why use Sphero EDU?
Why use Sphero EDU?
Sphero EDU is a hands-on learning platform that lets students program and control Sphero robots, including the BOLT and RVR. Using the Sphero EDU app, students can code with simple block-based programming, draw paths for the robot to follow, or advance to text-based JavaScript coding. The BOLT is great for learning coding basics, problem-solving, and creativity through interactive challenges, while the RVR offers more advanced features for exploring engineering, sensors, and customization. Both help students build STEM skills in a fun and engaging way.
All AACPS middle schools have Bolt robots and all AACPS high schools have RVRs. See your media specialist for how to check them out.
Note: Students are not allowed to create accounts or sign into Sphero EDU.
