The Sphero Computer Science Foundations Course 1-3 (English Only) is an educational curriculum designed to enhance classroom learning through the integration of STEAM principles and creative coding. This comprehensive program spans three courses and 72 lessons, providing students with the opportunity to master block programming. By engaging with this curriculum, students will learn to manipulate sensors, loops, conditionals, variables, and functions, and will gain the ability to translate simple block programs into JavaScript.
The curriculum is meticulously aligned with NGSS, CSTA, TEKS, and various international and state standards, ensuring that it meets educational requirements across different regions. Educators are equipped with a printed teacher guidebook, which contains detailed lesson plans, and a perpetual digital license granting access to all student-facing materials and content. This resource-rich guide supports teachers in delivering lessons that connect coding concepts to real-world applications, thereby fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
The adaptable nature of the curriculum allows it to be tailored to diverse classroom settings and student needs. Students will engage with the Draw Canvas and block programs to manipulate lights and sounds, create loops and conditionals, and explore various themes such as Shapes & Numbers, Nature, Empathy, Storytelling, Game Design, Missions, Navigation, and Brain Breakers. These themes encourage students to apply their programming skills in creative ways, such as painting, composing music, designing games, and understanding natural phenomena.
Through the use of Sphero robots, students will develop their ability to communicate effectively, collaborate with peers, and build a supportive classroom community. The curriculum also emphasizes the importance of storytelling, allowing students to use their robots to represent story elements, develop dialogue, and retell historical events. Additionally, the program includes lessons on game design, navigation, and problem-solving, providing students with a well-rounded educational experience that prepares them for future challenges.
