Product Description:

The Sphero BOLT+ is a next-generation programmable robot that transforms the way students engage with STEAM learning. Designed for all skill levels, BOLT+ combines powerful hardware, real-time coding feedback, and dynamic programming tools to spark creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration in any learning environment.

Hands-On Learning for All Levels:

BOLT+ supports a broad spectrum of learners—from young beginners exploring basic sequencing through draw-based programming, to advanced coders writing complex logic in JavaScript. Its intuitive interface and robust capabilities make it the perfect fit for classrooms, after-school programs, and at-home exploration. Each BOLT+ can be shared between two learners, fostering collaboration and pair programming.

Vivid LCD Display for Real-Time Coding Feedback:

At the heart of BOLT+ is its brilliant 128×128 pixel LCD screen, capable of displaying over 650 animations, graphics, and data visuals. This feature allows students to create expressive icons, monitor sensor feedback in real-time, and debug programs efficiently—making coding a truly interactive experience.

Exclusive Programming Blocks with the Sphero Edu App:

The Sphero Edu App unlocks exclusive programming features for BOLT+, including the new “Roll to Distance” block for precise movement and customizable software button responses for added interactivity. Learners can also manually drive BOLT+ and use the app’s built-in lessons and challenges to enhance the experience.

Built for Creativity and Durability:

Engineered with a scratch-resistant polycarbonate shell, BOLT+ is tough enough to handle creative challenges—from rolling through paint to traversing outdoor terrain. Its durable design encourages students to think outside the box and push the boundaries of their learning without fear of damage.

Explore Free Curriculum Resources:

Sphero provides a library of free, standards-aligned lesson plans, activities, and teaching guides to support educators and parents. These resources are ideal for integrating STEAM topics into the classroom or enriching at-home learning with structured, high-quality content.

Multiple Programming Methods:

BOLT+ supports progressive coding through three modes:

• Draw Programming: Ideal for beginners, using intuitive drag-to-draw commands to teach basic sequencing and loops.
• Block-Based Programming: Uses logic blocks to introduce conditional statements and functions, perfect for intermediate coders.
• Text-Based Coding (JavaScript): Enables advanced learners to write real code and develop complex programs.

Battery Life & “Shake to Wake” Convenience:

Equipped with wireless Qi charging and smart power management, BOLT+ offers all-day battery life. Its “Shake to Wake” feature means students can activate the robot instantly—no buttons required—allowing for seamless connection and uninterrupted learning.

Device Compatibility:

The Sphero Edu App is compatible with Chromebooks, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Kindle. Learners can switch between Draw, Block, and JavaScript modes while accessing a global library of coding lessons and classroom tools.
