My students primarly use laptops and iPads for coding. They're able to see the characters move on screen. Students learn so much when they can use them hands on and truly see how their robot responds to what they've coded. It allows them to problem solve, work through challenges, and work together with classmates.
The Spheros allow the students to program with the iPad and move the ball through a series of challenges and problem solve. These critical thinking skills are so valuable to be carried over to other curricular areas as well. There is something so magical about seeing what you made come to life, and move in real life.
