Our Photographers Comments on Sphero RVR
Bernadette says:
“Ianna enjoyed this STEM Robot so much. She used my phone to code it’s voice and movements. It was challenging for her at first but she eventually got familiar with the Sphero Edu App. She has had practice coding since preschool and she was able to make the robot go straight, turn left, turn right, backwards. She’s currently learning to alter the speed and how to operate in different terrains. “
