STEM - Sphero Workshops
3L participated in Sphero workshops in Term 4. The purpose of the workshops was to inspire the next generation of learners to think critically by coding Spheros (robotic spheres).
Throughout each week, students were taught explicit instructions and then given a problem to solve e.g. using the Sphero to knock down a cup. Although students found the tasks at times challenging, they also found them enjoyable!
Students listening to instructions on how to program a path on a race track.
Students problem solving a solution for the race track.
