![]() ![]() There are no design rules other than it must be able to carry KEVA planks and keep them on the trailer while moving.Ģ. Using Zometool design a trailer that attaches to and is able to be pulled by Sphero. Sphero needs your help to design a trailer that he can pull and load with KEVA planks! He wants to be able to take home as many planks as possible without exceeding the speed limit which is 200 cm/s.ġ. Sphero wants to have a bonfire and is going to need to find a way to haul firewood home. Put your Sphero on the floor and practice aiming and driving Sphero in a straight line.ĭetermine Acceleration-Force-Mass Relationship.Change your Sphero's color to make it easier to keep track of which one is yours.Sphero can travel up to 4.5 mph! You can also change Sphero's color by dragging the little white circle to a different color in the circle of colors. The blue circle on the vertical line controls the speed. From here you can drag the blue circle inside the gray circle to drive your Sphero robot. You will now be taken back to the Drive screen. Once you have the blue tail light aimed.Remember this is his "tail light", when it is pointing directly at you Sphero will move away from you forward. Your Sphero should be rotating around as you do this. Move the blue circle around the outside of the circle to aim your Sphero.Click on the Aim button as shown below.In the Sphero EDU app click on the Drive button on the bar on the bottom of the app as shown below.Sphero isn't the brightest crayon in the box! He must be aimed each time he starts.This way when Sphero rolls it will roll away from you. To do this you need to adjust the blue "tail light" so that it is pointing directly at you. It's important to get this right so that Sphero will follow the path and not bump into anything. Aiming Sphero. When you set Sphero's direction to 0 degrees this is called "aiming" Sphero. Note in the diagram below that zero degrees is directly away from the user while 180 degress is toward the user.ģ. This makes it much easier to get Sphero robots moving in the direction you want. Get to know Sphero! One of the things that makes Sphero robots so unique is that its heading is relative to the user, not relative to the robot. You should get a message " SPRK Connected" and Sphero's light should change to the color set on the color wheel.Ģ. The Media Library has 12 Kindle Fire tablets available to borrow with the Sphero SPRK+ Power Kit. Connect Sphero. The Sphero robot is controlled and programmed using an app from your tablet or phone via Bluetooth. Without it, humans would not have inhabited every corner of this planet.1. Risk-taking, leaping, trying again, and failing are part of our genetic material. ![]() Go #BeyondCode and enrich your learning experience with engaging STEAM activities that foster creativity and collaboration. But what if we allow students to fail in a safe space and make learning a personal endeavor? Oftentimes we can see failure, particularly in exams, as negative - one of the worst things we can allow students to experience. Without it, humans would not have inhabited every corner of this planet. STEM skills grant students the 21st-century abilities needed to perform a wide range of both essential and highly-skilled jobs. STEM teaching is the hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics concepts, and it’s becoming an increasingly important part of modern-day education. Critical thinkers can solve problems by keeping a clear mind and rational thoughts that will help you analyze a situation and make a sound decision. That’s the basic process of critical thinking. Using information available, combined with skills acquired, can help make good decisions. Sphero makes remarkably cool, programmable robots and STEAM-based educational tools that transform the way kids learn, create and invent through coding, science, music, and the arts. ![]()
