Introducing Sphero Edu
We’re going #BeyondCode
A few years ago, Sphero began an experiment to prove that play could be a powerful teacher. Today, that experiment has taken on a life of its own. Sphero’s ongoing commitment to education now has a name — Sphero Edu. While coding is at the core of everything we do, Sphero Edu takes it much further. Our program goes beyond code by incorporating robotics and technology with collaborative STEAM activities, nurturing students’ imaginations in ways no other education program can.
So what’s new with Sphero Edu?
The Sphero Edu App
What was Lightning Lab is now the Sphero Edu App. Same great app. Brand new name. A few added bonuses…
If you thought the Sphero Edu app was merely getting a facelift, you thought wrong. Text programming just took a turn for the awesome — we’ve now migrated to JavaScript, the most popular web coding language in the world. Now you can talk the talk and walk the walk. Take a look at some of the other new features.
JavaScript Coding
JavaScript is one of 3 core technologies in web coding and more. Learn it with Sphero Edu.
New Sensor Data
What does the gyroscope measure exactly? Well, now you can see in real-time.
New Game and Story Sounds
Creating a narrative with SPRK+? Add new sounds to the mix to tell your story.
Edu is here to stay
Sphero Edu provides a toolset that is unbounded in its potential, encouraging students and users to apply creative thinking to the problem at hand. All it takes is a Sphero robot, our app, and some inspiration. Our commitment to 21st century learning isn’t new, but it’s definitely ramping up. Stay tuned.
