For Teachers

Fresh ways to teach with Sphero
BOLT+ capabilities open up more possibilities for programs and projects.

More ready-to-run lessons
In addition to your favorite BOLT activities, access even more lessons in Sphero Central for computer science and core subjects.

Less time managing robots
Better battery life and power management, clearer robot identification, and easier connections keep the focus on learning.

For Students

More coding creativity
A 128×128 pixel LCD gives students room to display text, detailed graphics, animations, and data.

Build programs that respond and engage
New events, software buttons, and manual drive while programming let students create interactive programs that respond to student input and their surroundings.

Go further with debugging
Students can see more feedback and sensor information directly on BOLT+, making it easier to understand what their program is doing and adjust it.

Hear From Educators Using BOLT+

Our Model Schools Loaning Program has two BOLT+ Power Packs, our most requested items–demand exceeds supply! I started with one Sphero SPRK robot nine years ago and now use BOLT+ for their ease, engagement, and versatility. We've created mazes, boats, and even Winter Olympic games, integrating BOLT+ into reading, math, and coding while fostering creativity, collaboration, and digital literacy.

Sphero BOLT+ has revolutionized computational thinking in my classroom! With low-prep activities, I seamlessly integrate BOLT+ into any subject, challenging students to problem solve, think critically, and collaborate in real-time. While programming, they sharpen essential skills that transfer across all content areas.
