SPRK Program
Orbotix created the SPRK program because they understand that connected toys like the Sphero can grab the attention of students and help them explore the world around them. SPRK lessons teach kids the basic concepts of programming, robotics, and math. There are five plug and play lessons available for teachers and parents to use with children. They’ll help kids understand foundational STEM concepts while playing games.
