Those from Sfero have announced a new coding robot, this time kid-friendly. SPRK+ is a cute spherical robot that was designed to teach students how to code in a playful way.
A new feature of SPRK+ compared to last year's -SPRK- is the ability to associate the robot with a smartphone, simply by touching them simultaneously. The new robot is also much more robust, thanks to a scratch-resistant and water-resistant coating.
The features would be: inductive charging, with a battery life of 60 minutes, programmable sensors, an accelerometer and a gyroscope, and LED lights. The most interesting feature of SPRK+ is the one that accompanies the Lightning Lab application. Through this application, users can create, share, and even collaborate on a team with other people from all over the world, on a variety of robotics projects.
"SPRK+ and Lightning Lab teach students valuable skills for the future under the disguise of play, Our robots are being used to teach everything from art to physics in a fun and hands-on way that engages students on a new level."
~ General Manager of Education @ Sphero
The Spero SPRK+ is now available for $129.
