Well folks, it's April - which means it's national poetry month! There are various poetry books on display on top of the shelves on the non-fiction side of our library, so feel free to take a look or check some out. I know, I know, the title of this blog post is "Makerspace Sphero Minis," but I just had to sneak poetry in there!
That being said, I just wanted to let you know that Makerspace is a place for students to come and be creative. They can do that through crafts, writing, tech...the possibilities are basically endless. We have a small, but steady stream of students who come to Makerspace every Monday and Friday during lunch, but I am hoping that our numbers will continue to grow.
Did you know that we have two Sphero Minis in Makerspace? These small, spherical robots can be driven around using the Sphero Mini app, or can be programmed using the Sphero EDU app. Yes, they are definitely a ton of fun, but did you know that you can use them for some fun and engaging activities in your classrooms? Did you know that you're more than welcome to check them out to use in your classrooms?
Check out these sites to help you generate ideas, and come grab one or both of the Spheros from the media center to try it out!

There are lots of activities for many subjects, with lesson plans and standards alignment included, on the Sphero EDU site:

Think you might want to try out an activity with the Spheros, but not sure where to start or how exactly to incorporate them? Stop in or drop me an e-mail and let's figure something out!
