Sphero Bolts

Every librarian on our GCCISD campuses has a Sphero Power Pack that includes 15 Sphero Bolts and measuring tape, protractors and rubber shell casings. Both Heidi and Elaina also have a set that we can combine in a classroom, so that each student has the opportunity to drive, draw and code with this wonderful learning tool. Check out our Sphero lessons page that has a link to the Sphero EDU library as well as lessons that we have created to share with you. 

Sphero Indis

Our department has a class pack of these Sphero Indi Racers (set of 8) that we can bring to your classrooms upon request.  These tools are excellent for introducing basic coding skills to our youngest learners, and we have even used them for area and perimeter lessons with third graders. We can work with you to plan a lesson that incorporates the Indis, or bring them by to let your students learn while they explore. 

Ozobots

These micro-bots are perfect across all content areas and loved by all grade levels. Our department has a class set of 12 Ozobots that can be checked out upon request, or we can coteach with you in a tailored lesson for your students and the TEKs you are working on. Our set comes with the bots, charging station and packs of markers that are used to color-code the Ozobot. Check out the Ozobot library of lessons to get some inspiration, or reach out to us to help you get on your way!
