Sphero Coding

Year 5 – 6

Step 1 of 4

Students explore block coding with Sphero as they work through a series of challenging mazes.

They will use problem solving skills to understand effects of changes to length, time and speed of Sphero movement code. 

  • Use visual block coding to code Sphero to move.
  • Estimate distances and angles.
  • Use coding blocks such as movement, loop, delay, light and sound.

Incursion programs are only available to schools classed as rural or metro disadvantaged by the Department of Education.
