Today was the day that I, for the first time in my life, got to use a Sphero! Mrs.Pavia, the teacher who came into our classroom today told us all about what we were going to do for the rest of the day and we were all super excited that we were about to code a programmed robot. We all got picked into groups of two, and we walked to the meeting room, because there was a lot of space to play with the Sphero.

Programming the Sphero was so much fun!!! We made it go forwards, backwards, change colors, make sounds, jump, plus much more! In the end Mrs.Pavia gave us a challenge, we had to make the Sphero go forwards and stop right before the line of the square,(which was painted on the ground). After me and my group did it in a flash, she gave us another harder challenge. The 2nd challenge was to make the Sphero go in a square, meaning going around back to the beginning in a square shape. My group also did it but took a bit longer this time.

After we finished, everybody though that playing with the Sphero’s were so fun and cool! I really enjoyed playing with the Sphero SPRK+! I hope I can buy one!
