STEM Lesson Plan & Activities - SPHERO Year 7


- Introduction to the concept of networking and fastest path
- Basic path development – how to block code and make the Sphero complete a simple path
- Detailed path development – building on the previous lesson, making paths that have to follow more precise routes by placing obstacles in the path
- Task: Where should we place the new Ambulance Station so that it can access each of the houses in the town in a reasonable amount of time?
