Sphero Activity Mat 2 - Advanced Maze Challenges for Coding Mastery

Take coding skills to the next level with challenging maze-based learning

The Sphero Activity Mat 2 elevates programming education with complex maze challenges that encourage critical thinking and computational problem-solving. This versatile classroom resource works seamlessly with all Sphero robots and the Sphero Edu platform, creating meaningful connections to your curriculum.

Key Features:

• 8 Advanced Maze Challenges: 4 complex mazes that are fully reversible for extended learning
• Progressive Difficulty: Ideal for intermediate to advanced coders (ages 8-16+)
• Durable Classroom Design: Tough, wipe-clean vinyl surface (1220mm x 2010mm) built for daily classroom use
• Multi-Team Capacity: Accommodates 4 groups simultaneously, maximizing classroom engagement
• Curriculum Integration: Reinforces spatial reasoning, algorithm design, and optimization skills

What's Included:

• 1 Sphero Activity Mat 2 (1220mm x 2010mm)
• 4 reversible mazes (8 total challenges)
• Compatible with all Sphero robots (sold separately)

Maze Challenge - Multiple Learning Pathways

Each maze on the Sphero Activity Mat 2 provides a unique problem-solving opportunity:

• Forward Challenge: Program Sphero from the starting position to the center of the mat
• Reverse Challenge: Navigate from the center back to the starting position
• Competitive Option: Race multiple Spheros through the same maze for added excitement

These versatile mazes develop critical coding competencies:

• Algorithm design
• Debugging skills
• Logical sequencing
• Spatial visualization
• Efficient solution optimization

Implementation Made Simple

Getting started is easy! Connect your Sphero to a device using the Sphero Edu app, roll out the mat, and students can begin tackling the mazes:

• Intermediate Coders: Create sequences with Block programming
• Advanced Students: Write sophisticated algorithms with Text coding

The progressive challenge design allows students to:

1. Start with basic maze navigation
2. Progress to optimizing routes for efficiency
3. Advance to competitive challenges
4. Document their success through photos and videos

Perfect for:

• Middle and high school STEM programs
• Coding clubs and competitions
• Problem-solving workshops
• Advanced algorithmic thinking development
• Computer science enrichment

For optimal classroom engagement, we recommend using the Sphero Activity Mat 2 with at least two Sphero robots and small student groups of 2-3 per robot.
