SPRK+ & Coding
Designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and invention through connected play and coding, SPRK+ is far more than just a robot. Powered by the Sphero Edu app or through Apple's Swift Playgrounds app which is perfect for students and beginners learning to code. You can easily learn programming, complete hands-on activities, and share your creations with the community. Navigate a maze. Program a painting. Mimic the solar system. Swim across the water. Have a dance party...The only limit is your imagination.
Sphero Edu's program uses app-enabled robots to foster creativity through discovery and play all while laying the foundation for a computer science curriculum and STEAM activities.While coding and 21st-century skills are necessary, the program also goes beyond code by incorporating robotics and technology with collaborative STEAM activities, nurturing students' imaginations.
The Sphero Edu cross-platform apps are accessible for all skill levels from primary to secondary and special education. Students can work collaboratively or at their own pace while tracking their progress with the app. Allowing users to progress with ease, while still providing challenges.
