Kids can even create their own scrolling text on the matrix, so my wheels are already turning for ways to connect them to Language Arts instruction. It adds a whole new level of fun to programming as kids design and animate their own colorful designs. So far, my favorite feature is by FAR the LED matrix.
Here are a few features of the new Sphero Bolt that make it their coolest and most advanced model yet: One quick look at this YouTube video had me drooling and ready to try them with my kids! That’s why I couldn’t WAIT to kick our robotics curriculum up a notch with the new Sphero Bolt. My Kindergartners and First Graders used “Draw” to make shapes, colors, and sounds, and my Second Graders used “Blocks” to program their bots through floor mazes, learning all about speed, duration, and angles…pretty advanced stuff for 7 and 8 year olds! At the end of the school year, when I had my students share what their favorite activity was over the past year, many of them pointed straight to our Robotics section. I loved how I could use the Sphero Edu app to create simpler programs for my beginners and more advanced block coding for my students who were ready to be challenged. Last year, I got my feet wet with Sphero bots and introduced a set of Sphero Minis to my first and second graders. In short, we use coding to help kids decode lifelong skills and lessons.” We afford them the chance to create, to consider, to challenge. But we’re also more than that – we engage kids in meaningful journeys. But there is a crucial element missing in most curriculum – the fun.

Sphero Founder and Chief Software Architect Adam Wilson recently stated, “In today’s tech-focused, hyper-changing world, STEAM education is more important than ever.
I’ve long been a fan of Sphero’s innovation and robotics philosopies. Brown’s class when I’m almost more excited than my students! This week in second grade, we tested out Sphero’s brand new cutting edge Bolt robot, and I think we might be in love. You know it’s gonna be a great day in Mrs.
As a gifted resource coordinator for early childhood students, the opinions are completely my own based on my experiences.*
