Special tech workshop sessions were held for 2 hours each morning for students not attending the 8th grade trip. This workshop featured two of our newest technologies here at ASFG... Spheros and Little Bits. The first part of the workshop was learning and coding with Spheros. Designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and invention through connected play and coding, Spheros are far more than just robots. Powered by the Lightning Lab app, our students are learning coding and completing hands-on, collaborative activities. For the 8th grade workshops, students built an obstacle course, and then programmed the Sphero to navigate that course. The second part of the workshop was an introduction to LittleBits. LittleBits are easy-to-use electronic building blocks empowering everyone to create inventions, large and small. There is a large variety of electrical components that easily connect together, making invention and innovation accessible to the students. The students were given six challenges to complete, including making a light-sensing flashlight and an intruder-sensing alarm.
