Programming with Sphero RVR

Once you are familiar with Sphero’s newest robot, the RVR, you’ll be able to start programming it with Sphero EDU.  EDU is both a website and a mobile application where students and teachers can use block programming to take advantage of the RVR’s sensors and movements.  Great for any STEM program!

Teq-tivities are helpful strategies, lessons, and activities to jumpstart meaningful learning and engage students - no matter where they're learning from. Our Teq-tivities help educators connect technology skills to pedagogical practices, to ensure that students get the most out of every lesson.

Sphero RVR - Speed Test

Using the movement blocks for Sphero EDU and the RVR robot, students will fill out the Speed Test Chart. They will experiment with various speed settings and time periods and use ratios to calculate the centimeters per second unit rate.
