A Sphero is a little ball-shaped robot that you control with a tablet, either manually with a joystick or via simple coding sequences. We will take the time to learn the basics of Sphero, then build obstacles for our robot friends. After, we will put our skills to the test to see if we can overcome the various challenges. Please note that this program is for ages 8+.
