BOLT pack is a charging pack with 15 spheros.
The Sphero is a great introduction to robotics for students of all ages.
Junior students can use the drawing canvas to control the spheros. Older students can then progress to using Scratch block coding to program the spheros. Extremely capable students can then use the javascript editor to learn how to control sphero using a text based programming language.
The SPRK+ Spheros come in a suitcase which charges the Spheros. A laptop, chromebook or iPad is required to program them (not provided).
There are a large number of online tutorials and projects which allow you to incorporate sphero into a range of subjects including maths, science, social studies and art.
We have one set of these, designed to be used with the Spheros. There is a double sided mat - golf and Sphero City. A set of activity cards provides a set of activities and challenges to promote collaboration and problem solving.
These activities are suited to students in the middle to senior years of primary school.
The Sphero RVRs are an all terrain robotic vehicle. They can be integrated with micro:bit to develop almost any type of robot you can imagine.
These are suitable for capable senior primary students who have experience with Sphero and Micro:Bit.
