Description
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.
