FEATURED STUDENTS:
Free Orchards Sphero Coding Club
How do you get small robotic balls to change color and move in a specifically-shaped path? The members of Free Orchards' Sphero Club are having a lot of fun using iPads to program their " spheros" while learning about robotics, coding, problem-solving, teamwork and STEM. The 24 fifth- and sixth-graders in the club meet every Friday after school and build on the previous week's lessons to develop more complex routines.
