For ages: 7 and above

In this programme, learners will learn how to connect and control their robots with several exciting drive modes, use their robot as a controller to play games, or try out Block Drive to introduce programming.

Using Sphero Edu, a software that supports block-based and javascript programming, Sphero BOLT is a starter robot suitable for beginners to the intermediate level.

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding computational thinking and how it impacts our daily lives;
• Learning how to manoeuvre and control the robot using remote control and coding;
• Learn about programmable sensors such as compass, light sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, motor encoders, and infrared communications;
• Learn about Coding concepts such as Functions, Variables, Complex Controls (If Then), and Comparators;
• Taking part in Sphero Global Challenge 2024*.

*Sphero Global Challenge 2024

In this challenge, the team will design, program, and engineer their Sphero BOLT to solve the mission objectives:

• Program two (2) BOLT robots to move with accuracy around the Competition Field
• Create if-then conditionals to make their programs respond to inputs from BOLT’s sensors
• Use problem-solving and creative thinking skills to decode encrypted messages
• Use infrared communications to send messages from one BOLT to another

Fee Structure:

$270 nett for every four (4) sessions attended. Each session is 2 hours. There are no other hidden fees.
