SPHERO GLOBAL COMPETITION​

The Sphero Global Challenge is the ultimate STEM competition and an opportunity for students to go deeper with computational thinking, engineering, and programming skills. Students will compete in groups of 5. Teams of all abilities are encouraged to work together to identify problems and develop solutions centered around the year's theme (Sphero Goes Incognito). Through this challenge, students will work to accomplish their goals in Regional and State Final competitions and ultimately a World Championship in Spring 2024!

SPHERO GOES INCOGNITO
Calling all spies! Gather your fellow spies, grab your spy gear, and report immediately to Sphero HQ for season four of the Sphero Global Challenge.
The Events will challenge undercover agents of all ability levels to work together to solve five fun and fresh Mission Objectives.
Only the best teams will successfully program their robots to:
-
Decode encrypted message using problem solving and creative thinking skills.
- Build a secret path to carry a message using computational skills.
- Create and engineer structures as part of their missions.
