Snakes and Spheros

The workshop on Snakes and Ladders with Spheros is a truly innovative and exciting opportunity for coding enthusiasts! Participants will embark on a thrilling journey of coding and problem-solving, using their skills to navigate the Sphero through a challenging game board. With every obstacle and pitfall, they will have the chance to refine their coding skills and become more confident in their abilities.

Coding is a highly valuable and in-demand skill, with numerous benefits for both personal and professional growth. In this workshop, attendees will learn how to code block-based programs, understand the principles of physics and momentum, and explore the intuitive Sphero software. These skills and knowledge will enable them to create and implement their own programs, and take their coding skills to the next level.

In addition to the hands-on coding experience, participants will also have the opportunity to collaborate with their peers and learn from an experienced instructor. The supportive environment and personalized attention will ensure that everyone gets the most out of the workshop, and takes away new skills, knowledge, and confidence.

So if you're looking for a challenging and rewarding workshop, this is the perfect opportunity to hone your coding skills, and have a blast playing Snakes and Ladders with Spheros!
