Sphero
How does Sphero meet the
computing curriculum?
Key Stage 1
 Understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on
digital devices; and that programs execute by following precise and
unambiguous instructions.
 Create and debug simple programs.
 Use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour if simple programs.
Key Stage 2
 Design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including
controlling or stimulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing
them into smaller parts.
 Use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs: work with variables and
various forms of input and output.
 Use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect
and correct errors in algorithms and programs.
Macro lab
 Macrolab opts for a fun and easy way to learn the computing
curriculum.
 Arrange simple commands and settings in
any combination you choose to let Sphero drive autonomously.
 Play your commands, save favourites, and even share them with
friends.
 Choose from over 30 commands to create macros.
 Individual adjustment settings for each command.
 Save, e-mail, and share your creations with anyone
 Apple and Android devices
Draw ‘n’ drive
 Draw any path for Sphero to follow.
 Change Sphero to thousands of colours as it rolls.
 Shake your device to erase your drawing and start over.
 Replay button so you can show your friends.
 Simple 1-finger gesture to adjust Sphero’s heading.
 Apple and Android devices
