15.01.2022 #melbourne Some great news yesterday as Melbourne is opening up again :)

15.01.2022 We tested out the Sphero SPRK+ today for a bit of coding fun. Our local council library Northern Beaches Council are lending various Makerspaces Kits to inspire kids to love STEM with hands-on learning. They have 4 different packs available. We borrowed the Sphero ball kit and littleBits music kit. Little Mister is using Sphero in his preschool program as an intro to coding so he preferred using the drawing function whereas his sister enjoyed using the coding blocks function where she played around with speed, colour and sound. We will continue having a play at the different features these holidays #notsponsored #notgifted #stem #stem kids #sphero #spheroedu #busytechkids
