Sphero Edu
Sphero Edu is a comprehensive platform designed to facilitate the creation, contribution, and learning experiences with Sphero robots. It offers a range of unique STEAM activities that go beyond coding and allow users to engage in various educational challenges with their robots.
The platform caters to users of different skill levels, from beginners who can give commands to their robots by drawing paths in the app, to intermediate coders who can use Scratch blocks for more advanced logic, and professionals who can write their own JavaScript code.
Sphero Edu is not limited to a specific audience and is suitable for makers, learners, educators, and parents alike. It provides an interactive interface that enables users to easily track the progress of their classes or groups. Saving progress, switching between devices, and continuing exploration from any location are all possible with this platform, making learning and preparation for the future an enjoyable experience.
Sphero Edu offers various features, including three program modes (Draw, Block, and Text), sensor data visualization through graphs, a wide range of activities such as painting, maze navigation, and solar system simulation, as well as a drive mode for leisurely robot control. Teachers can also monitor student progress by creating and assigning activities. The platform offers integrations with Google and Clever accounts, simplifying classroom use.
Sphero Edu is compatible with a range of supported robots, including Sphero RVR/RVR+, Sphero BOLT, Sphero SPRK+, Sphero SPRK Edition, Sphero 2.0, Sphero Mini, Ollie, BB-8, BB-9E, R2-D2, and R2-Q5.
