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 2023*.

For ages: 9 and above

*Sphero Global Challenge 2023

IN THIS CHALLENGE, TEAMS WILL DESIGN, PROGRAM, AND ENGINEER THEIR BOLTS TO SOLVE THE ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR MISSION OBJECTIVES:

• program up to 2 bolts to navigate through wild missions and solve problems
• harness their creativity and transform bolt as they program it to imitate animal behaviours
• create and engineer interactions for bolt as part of the mission objectives
