Bring coding to life with an engaging, hands-on STEM learning experience The Sphero Golf Mat turns abstract programming concepts into tangible, real-world challenges that students can see, solve, and celebrate. This premium classroom resource works seamlessly with Sphero robotic balls and the Sphero Edu platform to develop critical coding skills while making meaningful connections to your curriculum. Key Features: 12 Programmable Challenges: 6 reversible holes provide diverse mazes that grow with your students' abilities Multi-Level Learning: Supports coding development from beginners to advanced programmers (ages 8-16+) Durable Classroom Design: Tough, wipe-clean vinyl surface (1220mm x 2010mm) built for daily classroom use Cross-Curricular Applications: Strengthen math, problem-solving, and computational thinking skills Collaborative Learning Tool: Optimal for group activities with 4 teams working simultaneously What's Included: 1 Reversible Sphero Golf Mat (1220mm x 2010mm) Activity guide with classroom implementation ideas Compatible with all Sphero robots (sold separately) How It Works Getting started is simple! Connect your Sphero to a device using the Sphero Edu app, roll out the mat, and students are ready to code. Young programmers can create their own algorithms using Draw, Block, or Text programming as they guide their Sphero through increasingly complex mazes. This versatile learning tool adapts to different coding skill levels: Beginners: Use Draw mode for intuitive pathway creation Intermediate: Build logical sequences with Block programming Advanced: Write sophisticated algorithms with Text coding Classroom Activity Ideas Golf Tournament Challenge Transform coding practice into an exciting classroom competition! Students work in pairs to program their Sphero through each hole, documenting their success with photos and videos. Extend the learning with: Creating par scores for each hole Setting time-based challenges Limiting block counts to encourage efficient programming Scoring "Birdies" and "Eagles" for exceptional solutions Perfect for: STEM/STEAM classrooms Coding clubs Math enrichment Problem-solving workshops Collaborative learning environments For optimal classroom engagement, we recommend using the Sphero Golf Mat with at least two Sphero robots and small student groups. Sphero robots sold separately. Compatible with all Sphero robot models.
