Sphero Global Challenge Robotics Competition for Kids Season 1 Winners

Our inaugural season of the annual Sphero Global Challenge robotics competition was a resounding success as 74 teams from eight countries competed in three unique STEM events. In the end, 15 teams made it to the finals to compete in the Sphero World Championship to present their designs and inventions in littleBits Invent for Good, BOLT Space Mission, and the RVR + littleBits Mission to Mars to our “e-STEAM-ed” panelist of judges.
