Sphero BOLT + 12 Academy Lessons
$354.00 ex GST
($389.40 inc GST)
Sphero BOLT is the most capable robot ball Sphero makes, and the 8x8 LED matrix is what sets it apart — children can animate sensor data in real time and watch their code appear on the robot itself. Twelve self-paced lessons in the Sammat Online Academy take them from drawing a path to writing JavaScript.
What's included:
1 x Sphero BOLT robot ball with an 8x8 programmable LED matrix
Inductive charging cradle with USB cable
Protractor with heading, directions and clock markings
Sticker sheet and quick start guide
12 self-paced lessons in the Sammat Online Academy, with written guides and video walkthroughs
What your child practises:
Drawing a path for the robot to follow — coding before reading code
Scratch-style blocks for loops, conditions and sensor input
JavaScript text programming once the blocks feel easy
Reading live sensor data off the LED matrix and reasoning about what it shows
Free Sphero Edu app, available for iOS, Android, Kindle, Mac, Windows and Chrome. The durable UV-coated shell survives being dropped, which matters more than it sounds. Charges on the inductive cradle and connects by Bluetooth.
