About Sphero Edu
Designed for learner progression, Sphero Edu beginners can give robots commands by drawing a path in the app for their robot to follow. Intermediate coders can use Scratch blocks to learn more advanced logic, while pros can use text programming and write their own JavaScript or Python code.
Sphero Edu is built for makers, learners, educators, and parents. The interactive platform allows you to keep track of your class or group from one easy place. Anyone can save their progress, jump from device to device, and continue the discovery from anywhere. Preparing for the future has never been so fun.
SPHERO EDU FEATURES
PROGRAMS: Program your bots in 3 ways with Draw, Block, and Text modes. Start with the basics and grow.
SENSOR DATA: See location, accelerometer, gyroscope, velocity, and distance sensor data through visual graphs.
LESSONS: Program a painting. Navigate a maze. Mimic the solar system. The only limit is your imagination.
TAKE A DRIVE: Need a brain break? Set LED colors on your robot and zoom around in Drive mode.
ASSIGNMENTS: Are you a teacher? Monitor progress by creating lessons and assigning them to your students.
INTEGRATIONS: Simplify classroom use by signing in and syncing classrooms with Google and Clever accounts.

Ideas for 3 new block types
This is an amazing app for kids to learn programming. Here are some concepts for blocks that would be nice to have in the block programming mode: 1. Run (code) and (code) together. This is a control block with 2 spaces for programs, like how the if-then-else block is shaped. This block would run both of the programs at the same time, instead of one after the other like in normal program structure. For example, "run (heading 90°) and (main LED red) together. would make the bot turn 90° and red simultaneously. 2. Color of pixel at (x,y). Sensor block for BOLT and BOLT+ that acts as whatever color the matrix pixel at that coordinate is. For example, if the (5,2) pixel is green, then “color of pixel at (5,2)” would output green. 3. if (boolean) then (number) else (number). Sensor block that acts as the first number if the boolean is true, and as the second if it’s false. Basically just a piecewise function. Also, PLEASE add the drive motion block to all other bots.
