Sphero SPRK+

Our Verdict: The transparent shell is brilliant for education. The SPRK curriculum makes it the easiest Sphero to adopt in classrooms.

The Sphero SPRK+ is the classroom edition of Sphero’s programmable ball, featuring a transparent polycarbonate shell that lets students see the internal components. This design choice makes it a teaching tool for electronics and engineering as well as coding.

The SPRK Lightning Lab app provides hundreds of curriculum-aligned activities through the Sphero Edu platform, supporting Scratch-based blocks, JavaScript, and Swift Playgrounds. Classroom management tools help teachers monitor student progress.
