Sphero SPRK

This is SPRK Lightning Lab. Your hub to create, contribute, and learn with Sphero robots.

Simple for beginners yet sophisticated enough for seasoned programmers, Lightning Lab empowers anyone to program their robot. The visual block-based building app makes learning the basic principles of programming approachable and fun. Drag and drop actions, controls, operators, and more to learn how your Sphero works. The written code you create can then be viewed right beside your block sequence for a more advanced understanding of our C-based language.

“There were plenty of educational robots on the market, but Sphero stood out for the simplicity of its coding; moreover, unlike robotic cars, tanks, or dolls, a ball was equally inviting to boys and girls.” - The New Yorker

“Simply put, kids could not only learn about programming, but also have fun doing so.” - Engadget
