Sphero

You'll find the Sphero Bolt robot in the back of the room. Please make sure to put them back at the end of each period. 

You'll be using the app Sphero EDU. You can find this using your Chromebook and going to the Google Play Store and downloading the Sphero Edu app.

As you are exploring the programs, it's important to remember to recalibrate your Sphero any time you pick him up off the ground. You'll see the Aiming Ring icon in every app. Click this ring and then swing the blue light on Sphero so that he is facing you. This will ensure that your programming works the same way every time. If you don't recalibrate, Sphero will get confused about which direction is which.

When you're done using Sphero, make sure to connect the iPad to the charging cable and place Sphero back into his charger for the next class. You'll know that Sphero is charging when he lights up in a rainbow pattern on his charging station. It may take five seconds or so for the lights to turn on.
