Our STEM sessions recently hosted a thrilling Sphero Mini Olympics, where students combined their love for technology with the excitement of athletic competition!
Opening Ceremony: The session began with an energetic opening ceremony that set the stage for an action-packed event. Students paraded their athletes and homemade flags of different countries. The ceremony included a grand display of our students’ enthusiasm and creativity.
Sprints Challenge: The highlight of the event was the Sphero sprints! Students programmed their Sphero Mini robots to race through a series of timed sprints. The competition was fierce, with each team customizing their robots to achieve the fastest times. The sprints tested both coding skills and strategic planning, as students fine-tuned their robots to gain that crucial edge.
Medal Moments: After a session of high-speed excitement and teamwork, we concluded with an award ceremony. Awards were given to the top-performing teams and individuals for their speed, precision, and creativity.
The Sphero Mini Olympics was a fantastic blend of technology and sport, showcasing our students’ ability to merge STEM learning with physical activity. We’re proud of their efforts and look forward to more innovative and fun events in the future!
Our students had an exciting time combining technology and athleticism in our latest school activity—Beebot’s Olympic Challenge!
In this engaging event, each class participated in an olympic themed activity using Beebots, our friendly programmable robots. The challenge was designed to integrate coding skills with physical movement and creativity.
Students participated in an Olympic event called the 3 meter sprint, while cheering on their classmates. Students also designed flags for different countries and created a Beebot shell to represent their country.
They all did a fantastic job!
