Socially Distanced Learning with Sphero

Learn how cloth face coverings can protect against germs! Use BOLT’s light sensor and a handmade mask to demonstrate how filtering inputs can help slow the spread of germ transmission.

Two Feet? Four Feet? No, Six Feet! Chances are you’ve heard about the guidance from the Center for Disease Control (CDC). In this activity, you will turn BOLT into your own yardstick to help make social distancing easier.

Taking care of others is a powerful way to build compassion and support your community, especially in times of stress. Let’s program RVR using the color sensor to transport supplies to other groups!

Good handwashing is the first line of defense against the spread of many illnesses- from the common to cold to, more recently, COVId-19. But do you really need to scrub with soap for at least 20 seconds for handwashing to be effective? Yes, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO).

The history of the handshake dates back thousands of years to Greece where it is suggested that it formed as a mode to convey peaceful intentions. Today, the gesture is used as an everyday greeting and has expanded to include “secret handshakes”, or, distinct forms of handshakes between friends or groups.

Throughout the day, you touch many surfaces like doorknobs and desktops, where viruses can linger for days. From there, germs can latch on to your fingertips! It’s important to avoid touching your face because your nose, mouth, and eyes can act like doors into your body for the viruses and germs to travel through.
