Ready, Set, Code! Welcome to the Sphero Olympics!
Get ready to roll into action with the Sphero Olympics—where coding meets competition! In this exciting event, students become robot coaches, programming their Sphero BOLT robots to race, dodge, spin, and score through a series of Olympic-style challenges. Think robot races, obstacle courses, bowling with bots, and even a long jump event (yes, robots can jump—sort of!).
Each team will design and test their own event, using creativity, teamwork, and science skills to make it fun and fair. Then, during National Science Week, we’ll bring it all together for the big day: the Sphero Olympics! Robots will compete in different events, showing off their speed, accuracy, and style. There’ll be cheering, coding, and maybe even medals!
Whether you're into tech, sports, or just love a good challenge, this event is all about learning through play. You’ll discover how coding controls movement, how physics affects speed and direction, and how teamwork makes everything better.
So grab your robot, fire up your imagination, and let the games begin!
