Dive into the world of robotics and coding! This hands-on workshop introduces STEM through interactive play with Sphero Indi robots. Students learn the basics of coding and algorithms while developing curiosity, problem-solving skills and appreciation for the role of technology.
Sphero Indi Bots brings coding and computational thinking to life through hands-on robotics. Students don't stare at screens — they physically code robots using colour tiles, design courses, and solve real engineering challenges.
KS1 students use colour-coded tiles to program their Indi robot's movements, building sequencing skills. KS2 students tackle more complex challenges — debugging code, designing obstacle courses, and competing in team robotics challenges. Every activity builds computational thinking.
Perfect for schools looking to bring computing curriculum requirements to life in an engaging, memorable way. No prior coding experience needed — we bring all the robots and equipment.
Each session includes live demonstrations, practical experiments, and hands-on challenges where students directly manipulate materials and test scientific ideas. No screens — just engaging, tactile learning that builds confidence and curiosity.
Students unbox and explore their Sphero Indi robot, learning how it 'reads' colour tiles to follow instructions.
All year groupsUsing colour tiles to create sequences of instructions — students program their robot to navigate a course.
All year groupsTeams design and build obstacle courses, then program their robot to navigate them — combining engineering with coding.
KS1+When the robot goes wrong, students must find and fix the bug in their code — building resilience and logical thinking.
KS2Competitive team challenge where groups race to program their robot through an increasingly complex maze.
KS2Open-ended creative challenge where students design their own robot mission and write the code to complete it.
KS2Students understand basic coding concepts and algorithmic thinking.
Students enhance critical thinking through interactive challenges essential for programming and everyday life.
Students experiment with coding in a playful, supportive environment that encourages innovation.
Students collaborate to solve coding challenges, sharing ideas and building on each other's solutions.
