Sphero Bolt Robotics
Beginner robotics kits can be utilized to help students learn about electronics, sensory technology, and introductory programming and coding. Sphero Bolts are round, waterproof and sturdy robots that can be controlled or programmed to roll around on any surface. They are designed for educators who want to inspire their students’ curiosity in STEM and empower students to explore their creativity, coding skills, and inventiveness. The Bolt has advanced sensors, programmable LED matrix, and innovative technology.
Sphero Bolt is great for teachers and students of all levels, with three ways to program: Draw, Blocks, and Text coding.
