It's never too early to help young learners better understand computational thinking and problem-solving skills and why these skills are so important to their learning journey. In this webinar you'll hear from Sphero's own Jeremy Macdonald, Jeff Wiencrot, and our special guest Sphero Hero, Jennifer Keene on how to teach these skills from a young age. Plus, we'll be taking an in-depth look at Sphero's all new robot indi, specifically designed for early learners PK-2nd grade. indi inspires imaginative play-based learning by empowering kids to design and build their own mazes while teaching critical problem-solving and computational thinking skills with or without the need of an app!
In this free, 45-minute webinar, we'll cover the inner workings of Sphero BOLT, the Sphero Edu app, and discover how to implement engaging STEAM lessons in all grades, from elementary to high school. Sphero Heroes Peter Abt and Lauren Marrone will share their first-hand experiences as educators in different grade levels and subject areas, as well as how they have implemented a scalable approach to STEM learning with Sphero.
When you think about coding, does your mind automatically associate it with the science of reading? If not, this Sphero Session will change your mind! Phoneme-Grapheme mapping is an explicit and strategic approach to learning how to read and spell words. In this session, Reading Specialist Claire Stewart will explore the research behind phoneme-grapheme mapping, the steps to map a word, and how you can use Sphero indi to help your students map words in a new and exciting way. Coding isn't just for big kids! With indi, students can begin as early as Pre-K and Kindergarten.
