1. Painting with Sphero
Shaw STEM Lab | 2018

2. What you should know
In order to complete this Engagement you should have
Completed the Sphero engagement
At least one other coding engagement
Have permission from Mr. Ochs
When coding in this engagement, keep Sphero’s speed s – l – o – w!
When controlling Sphero, you will need to code it, not free drive!

3. Things you’ll need
Sphero
Nubby cover
iPad

4. Check it out!

5. Let’s get messy (almost)!
Before we can start painting with Sphero, we need to understand some basic shapes.
Code at least four of the following shapes on the floor with the nubby cover
Square
Rectangle
Circle
Star
Heart

6. Questions
Take a picture of each of your codes for the four shapes you programmed.
Explain in at least five sentences what the most challenging part about coding those four shapes was.
Describe how the nubby cover affects Sphero’s movement.
Explain at least one similarity and one difference between what you will be doing and what is shown in the YouTube video.

7. Let’s get messy!
Before you get painting, it would be a good idea to have a basic idea of what you will create!
Remember to keep Sphero’s speed s – l – o – w!
