Quick answer
Sphero's Onsite Workshop brings a trainer to your school for a full day of hands-on, customizable professional development that starts with a virtual needs assessment.
Why choose an onsite workshop?
Onsite training eliminates travel costs and lets your whole team learn together in your own environment. The agenda is built around your specific goals, not a generic script.
What if my team has mixed experience levels?
The pre-workshop virtual meeting helps the trainer adjust content for beginners and veterans alike. You can focus on fundamentals or dive into advanced coding and robotics integration.
Frequently asked questions
How does the pre-workshop assessment work?
Before the onsite day, you'll have a virtual meeting with the Sphero trainer. You'll discuss your team's experience, goals, and any specific topics you want covered. The trainer uses this to build a custom agenda.
What happens during the workshop day?
The trainer arrives at your school and leads an interactive, hands-on session. You'll work through activities that build confidence in teaching with Sphero robots and littleBits kits. The day is structured around the topics you prioritized in the assessment. Plan for a full day of active participation—bring your devices and be ready to code.
What outcomes can I expect for my team?
Teachers leave with practical lesson ideas, troubleshooting skills, and a clear plan for integrating robotics into their curriculum. The workshop includes 12 hours of contact time (typically one full day) and follow-up support resources.
Who is the ideal audience for this workshop?
Any K-12 educator or administrator who wants to implement or expand classroom robotics and STEM activities. It's especially valuable for schools adopting Sphero products for the first time or training new staff. If your school already has Sphero kits but teachers aren't using them confidently, this workshop fills that gap.
