Sphero Edu – Changing how kids learn #BeyondCode #ad

Modified: Feb 28, 2025 · Published: Jul 26, 2017 by Emma Vanstone · This post may contain affiliate links · 108 Comments

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Sphero. The opinions and text are all mine.


My first job after graduating was as a programmer for a bank, I had very little coding experience at that point, as back then children weren’t taught to code as part of the curriculum. I’ve watched with interest how coding based apps have made coding a skill that everyone from young children to inexperienced adults can master and enjoy. I’ve also spent time over the last two years teaching coding as part of a lunchtime club to 6 and 7 year olds and been hugely impressed and surprised at how quickly children with no previous exposure to coding learn when using apps and tools which utilise the incredible power of play based learning. I’m now very excited at the possibility of running a similar club using Sphero Edu as I think the results will be even more impressive.

What is Sphero SPRK+ ?

The Sphero SPRK+ Robot is a small ball that can be easily programmed to race around a circuit, change colour, run through water and much, much more. The possibilities and interactive learning opportunities both in a classroom and home environment are endless. One simple example is this K’NEX frame we created for our SPRK+. Initially, the plan was to cushion the robot from walls, but then we added a finger part so SPRK + could knock down our dominos. What do you think?

SPHERO SPRK + K'NEX

SPRK+ looks amazing with changing colour lights and the fact that you can see the mechanism inside instantly appealed to my son who likes to know how things work.

SPHERO SPRK + Dominos

Coding with Sphero SPRK+

An iPhone or Android Sphero Edu app is used to create code for Sphero, which pairs with an iPad, tablet, iPhone, or smartphone via Bluetooth. A couple of little taps on Sphero wakes it up, and it pairs straight away. Once it turns blue, you’re ready to start. Setting up Sphero SPRK+ is super quick and easy. We were ready to code in just a couple of minutes.

I have seen firsthand how much children love to code with programs like Scratch, but Sphero Edu takes coding to a whole new level with its use of robotics and the ability to combine coding with hands-on STEAM activities. These activities harness the boundless power of a child’s imagination and utilise real-world concepts and experiences.

The Edu app allows users to create code by drawing, using blocks of code, or writing Javascript, making it a brilliant resource for everyone from beginners to expert coders. Sphero Edu allows children to learn to code in an approachable, engaging, and exciting manner at a level that’s right for their skills, knowledge, and interests.

Sphero Edu app

Users can share programs with the community as part of the Edu app. Once you’ve mastered basic coding with SPRK + we’d recommend checking out the #ThursdayLearnDay videos by Sphero for inspiration. You can make SPRK + jam to the beat of a song, turn it into a Magic 8 ball and so much more. We are really excited by the possibilities and can’t wait to start sharing our own programs.

Sphero Edu app

Our experience with Sphero SPRK+

My 6-year-old has thoroughly enjoyed drawing paths for Sphero SPRK+ to follow and has big plans to make a maze for our robot to follow over the summer holidays. SPRK+ has been fantastic for her as the app allows her to achieve what she wants to do without overwhelming her with blocks or written code that she sometimes finds hard to grasp.

My 8-year-old is the most creative of my children. She has been busy creating a house for the robot, complete with ramps for stairs and windows for him to pause to look out of. Her next task is to test how steep a ramp Sphero SPRK+ can climb and create something she can put around the robot to add extra traction to help slow it down, as SPRK+ moves very quickly along our wooden floors.

My 10-year-old quickly moved beyond drawing paths to block-based coding. After starting with very basic programs, he is now trying to push himself further and further each day with more complex code. It’s not often I see him so enthusiastic about something. His next plan is to create a football game complete with goals in the garden. I can’t wait to see how he gets on.

Sphero SPRK +

Zak has also loved getting to know SPRK+ using the Sphero app, which allows users to drive SPRK+ around while learning tricks and completing missions. This app is a great way to introduce children to Sphero and its many capabilities.

As you can tell, all three children have exciting and very different plans for what they can do with SPRK+ over the holidays. I find this fascinating, as each of them has found a different way to use the robot to fit their abilities and interests.

Why the SPRK+ Robot and Sphero Edu app are changing how kids learn

The combination of the SPRK+ robot, the Sphero Edu app and the amazing programs being created by Sphero enthusiasts around the world are perfect for inspiring a passion for robotics, coding, and STEAM principles while supporting other areas of learning at the same time. For example, one of the first lessons in the Edu app is calculating perimeter. This hands-on, creative and interactive learning experience is so incredibly exciting and one I hope many more children are lucky enough to experience.

    My 11 year olds have been blessed to participate in a Coding class through APPLE camp this very week! In fact, this afternoon they get to practice programming with Sphero!! Was so excited to see your post. Am printing out and will share with the parents in my “class” this afternoon as the kids experiment with coding and Sphero. Thanks so much for your review with pics.

    I have a 10-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl. Their school does not teach coding. I would like to give them the gift of coding and incorporate robotics.STEM is the future. To show them how to draw pathways for their robots to follow as a game disguising learning as fun. This would be a gift for us all, to keep up with technology.
    Thank you for this opportunity.

    I teach at an elementary school where I started a “Tech Ambassadors” summer program. Rising 4th and 5th graders spend a week over the summer becoming “experts” with the technology available in the school and then help other teachers effectively implement technology in their classrooms. We also had a coding part of the program that students absolutely loved. I would love to be able to introduce Sphero to our tech ambassadors and have them come up with something to introduce it to our staff and the rest of the school!

    There are so many options I don’t know where to start. Hubby and I both started our love of computers waaaaaay back in Basic. Writing a line or two of code, seeing what the result was, and proceeding from there (Lego robotics kits also got involved along the way). It is so cool to see how far learning tools have come! I would love to see our daughter do the same kind of, curiosity fueled, learning by experimentation. For example: she is learning music, has a set of chimes, and understands how to direct multiple people to play a single melody – bell choir style. What if she could set-up her chimes and program the SPRK+ to play a tune?

    That or just chase the chickens around the yard with her robot. ^_^

    I don’t want my ‘old person’ thinking to get in the way of exploration though. Who knows what these kids can come up with! The pairing of innocence and creativity is a magnificent thing.

    I would use Sphero creatively by helping the kids set up obstacle courses for Sphero to navigate.

    My grandson does code now (at 7) and blows me away in what they learn and do nowadays. This would be right up his alley.

    My wife is an aid for special ed at the local school. This robot would be the perfect toy for them to have hours of fun. This sphero would be a great attention grabber all day long. Stay in school because school is cool!

    I don’t have the skills to make the most of the Sphero Edu – but I would gift it to my scientist daughter to use with her son.

    My 5 year old son is big into STEM projects and has built robotic Lego creations so I know he would be able to come up with a multitude of ways to use this.
