Spheros are strange but cool robots. We have a couple of different types in the lab - most are SPRK+ robots, with one Ollie and a BB-8. The SPRK+ robots are pretty tough, but Ollie and BB-8 are not - be more careful with those ones please.

You'll need a Kindle Fire or an iPad to work them. Please fid the blue Sphero EDU app and open it, and connect to a robot. The robots have their 4 digit codes written on the outside. Once you are connected, you can control your robot! You have a choice of activities:

• You can use the maze, and do your best to drive the robot around the maze!

• You can open the Sphero activities section and complete some of the Introduction to Sphero EDU games.

• Program your robot using block coding to complete a maze or route.

Please do not just play remote control cars with the robots unless you have completed some of the above tasks, and only with my permission. Have fun!
