Sphero BOLT+™, the Next Evolution of the #1 Programmable Robot in Education

BOLT+ is a round programmable robot that delivers best-in-class, hands-on learning experiences. Inside the waterproof shell is a vivid LCD screen that promotes creativity and self-expression with 650+ vibrant graphics and playful animations. The BOLT+ screen can also display real-time sensor data, aiding precision in code debugging.

By designing animations and games and working on interactive projects, learners engage in coding in an entirely new way that's impactful and unique to each student.

BOLT+ has free resources, activities, and a standards-aligned curriculum, including 38 newly designed lessons. This robot provides a dynamic platform for integrating coding skills into core subjects such as math, science, and language arts. Through code and three-dimensional learning, BOLT+ can help a learner visualize mathematical concepts, conduct scientific experiments, or tell stories. 

“We enhanced the features students and teachers have grown to love over the past six years and embraced new technology that’s now available to teach STEM and computer science,” said Nate Ubowski, Sphero’s BOLT+ Product Manager. “With these considerations combined, BOLT+ is undeniably the most powerful teaching and learning tool available.”
