Teaching Algorithms and Growing STEM with Sphero

摘要

The primary goal of this project is to educate our audience about algorithms. We used Sphero, a fun and engaging robot sphere, to pique the interest of our participants with the intent of promoting STEM and Information Technology. By participating in our workshops, our audience experimented with Sphero.edu and block coding, which allowed them to learn about algorithms through easily replicable examples. This project showed our workshop participants that programming can be fun. The workshop results proved that the audience had an increased interest in programming.
