Make learning fun, interactive and challenging no matter your level

Learning is evolving, especially as the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts one million more computer-science jobs than students by 2020 - making learning tools like SPRK+ crucial to today's curriculum. Therefore, get on the ball with Sphero SPRK+. Built with programmable sensors including a gyroscope, accelerometer, motor encoders, and colourful LED lights to create countless play experiences and coding conditions for all levels. Powered by the Sphero Edu app, you can easily learn programming, complete hands-on activities and share your creations with the community.

This product has been designed to be perfect for all age groups and skill levels!  Designed for learner progression, beginners can give robots commands by drawing a path in the app for their robot to follow. Intermediate coders can use code blocks to learn more advanced logic, while pros can use text programming and write their own JavaScript. Accessible from almost any platform, you can program using your smart device and the Sphero Edu app.

Goes over 4.5mph for 60 fun filled, educational minutes!

Everyone enjoys some level of speed. With Sphero SPRK+, the robotic ball can get up to an amazing 4.5mph. Your child can start off slow, and then as they get better at controlling the ball around their obstacle course, they can start to get faster! This helps improve your child's reaction skills in a fun, interactive way.

They can do this for an amazing 60 minutes; the time of a whole lesson. This means that your kid can get an hour of fun filled learning, before going back outside or watching TV. 

Easily learn programming, complete activities and share your creations

With Sphero SPRK+, you can code in three different ways! From draw and drive commands to Scratch blocks or even JavaScript text programming, Sphero Edu focuses on learner progression. This allows your child to learn different platforms and find which one enhances their talents the best.

As many kids have to work from home now, making sure they can still interact with others their age and share their inventions is important; with Sphero this is possible! SPRK+ and Lightning Lab allow you to collaborate with other users around the globe to innovate the world of education and empower anyone to program.

Scratch-resistant, waterproof and charges inductively

As it will be kids playing with this, making sure it won't break easily is important. Sphero have designed this to be completely scratch-resistant due to the UV coated polycarbonate shell, allowing it to be durable and deal with any obstacle course your child creates.

Also, as it is waterproof, this obstacle course can even be in water! This is a really cool feature as it means that you don't just have to play on land, you can play in a pool or in the bath; literally have your child code anywhere and show them how fun learning can be (just as long as it's within 100 feet of your smartphone).
