With the SPHERO SPRK+ students can learn the fundamentals of coding: events, if statements, loops and more.

This problem based learning approach enables each child to develop his or her ability to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically.

Students will have the opportunity to grow their own plants; which will be sent home with them at the end of the enrichment course. Lastly, students will have the opportunity to participate in different garden crafts. Students will receive a notebook to collect their data, a pair of garden gloves, a magnifying glass to help with exploring, and a potted plant to take home at the end of the enrichment course.
