All of the information needed to organize and facilitate a library activity focused on learning how to use Spheros robots. Includes information on setup and equipment needed, details on each of the components of the activity, and an overview of how Spheros robots work.
Anyone who is thinking of hosting a beginning Spheros library activity will get ideas from this lesson plan. What's included provides a good starting point for library staff just getting started with Spheros robots and for getting ideas about how to put together a computational thinking activity for and with youth.
