Sphero SPRK Edition - break the rules about learning

Published on Aug 3, 2015

There’s no rule that says learning shouldn't be fun, or that playing can’t be valuable. If there is, we created SPRK Edition to break it. We know that kids love Sphero, so we turned that love into learning and creation. Sphero SPRK Edition makes the skills of the future approachable and practical. And most importantly, fun.

The SPRK app experience lets you give your robot orders with visual blocks representing code - our own C-based language called OVAL. Immediately see the connection between the program you created and how the guts of your Sphero work and react. Sphero SPRK Edition will inspire a love of robotics, coding, and STEM principles… all through play.

SPRK is simple enough for beginners of all ages, yet sophisticated enough for seasoned programmers. The SPRK community is thriving as thousands of kids shape their future through fun and discovery. Fire up your imagination and break the rules about learning.
