Nerding: Sphero – Robotics & Programming

Code it. Race it. Roll into robotics. In this high-energy, delightfully nerdy class, students will use Sphero robots to explore coding, engineering, and problem-solving through fast-paced, hands-on challenges. Using block-based programming, they will control speed, direction, colors, and sounds as they send their robots through mazes, obstacle courses, precision missions, and creative builds that feel part robotics lab, part arcade, and part science experiment. As their skills level up, students will tackle increasingly awesome projects like maze competitions, robo-car washes, and even a rubber ducky chariot engineered for a giant gym race. Along the way, they will learn coding fundamentals, sequencing, troubleshooting, control, and design strategy while experimenting, testing, adjusting, and trying again like real robotics engineers. This class is perfect for kids who love to tinker, race, build, and figure out how things work, especially if they think robots should be both smart and ridiculously fun.   Grades 4 - 7 June 15 – June 19
