Start your engines and get ready to code! In this hands-on session, you’ll discover how Sphero indi—a race car–style robot—introduces young learners to foundational coding concepts using color-coded tiles. Participants will learn how indi supports sequencing, logic, and problem-solving without the use of screens, making it ideal for early childhood and primary classrooms. The session will showcase strategies for integrating indi into literacy, math, and STEAM instruction while promoting computational thinking. From designing race tracks to building color-based challenges, you’ll explore standards-aligned activities that drive engagement and support early academic goals. Whether you’re just getting started with coding or expanding your STEAM toolkit, this session will equip you with the tools and ideas to implement indi effectively in your classroom.
