Overview

Build an obstacle course and send a rolling robot on a mission! In Ready, Set, Roll! Sphero Robotics Camp, campers will work in pairs to explore Sphero Mini, a small programmable robot ball. Sphero confirms that Mini can be programmed through Sphero Edu, giving kids a way to see their coding instructions turn into real movement.

Campers will start with driving practice and guided beginner block coding, then design obstacle courses for their robots to navigate. They’ll explore how direction, speed, and timing affect a robot’s route. Predicting what will happen, testing a program, and adjusting it after a missed turn give campers hands-on practice with sequencing, cause and effect, and problem-solving.

Working with a partner adds teamwork and creative decision-making to every challenge. Campers will share ideas, take turns, and refine their courses and code as they discover what works. The afternoon offers a playful introduction to robotics with support to help beginners build confidence. No coding or robotics experience is required, and laptops and Sphero Mini robots are provided for use during camp.
