Sphero Partners with Palatine CCSD 15 for Free STEM Symposium

We’re excited to see Spencer Wright taking the stage at Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) to explore how robotics and coding can be used to create authentic, scalable learning experiences in K–12 classrooms 🤖 In this session, Spencer dives into: • Bringing real-world problem solving into CS instruction • Engaging students through hands-on, virtual robotics experiences • Making advanced STEM learning accessible across diverse classrooms As part of the CoderZ ecosystem, this session highlights practical ways educators can elevate computer science instruction without added complexity or cost. If you’re attending TCEA, this is a session you won’t want to miss. #TCEA #CoderZ #STEMEducation #ComputerScience #EdTech #K12Innovation #RoboticsInEducation

IEEE Rising Stars delivered another standout weekend of student engagement and innovation.   DigiKey partnered with Microchip Technology Inc. and Arduino/Qualcomm at this year’s IEEE Rising Stars, engaging more than 420 students and young professionals from around the world.   The event featured breakout workshops and demo sessions, with Microchip presenting its new Circuit Python board (soon to be a DigiKey exclusive) and Arduino/Qualcomm showcasing the new Arduino UNO Q platform. Both sessions saw record-breaking attendance.   Representing DigiKey at the event were Y.C. Wang (Global Academic Program Director) and David Sandys (Sr. Director, Technical Enablement & Engagement). They were joined by Jennifer Dahl ( EETech Group), Ross Satchell and Hani Ahmed (Microchip), and Jason Strickland (Arduino/Qualcomm)—making this a strong start to another year of impactful student engagement.   #IEEERisingStars #FutureEngineers #AcademicPrograms

Students at MakersBox Foundation are transitioning from learning Arduino programming concepts to applying them through hands-on projects. After workshop sessions, they are building a 3D-printed robotic car, working on logic development, testing code behavior, and understanding hardware integration. Makersbox is open to curious learners who want to skill up, develop 21st-century skills, stay updated with modern tools and technologies, and grow as creative problem solvers and innovators. . . #MakersboxFoundation #ExperientialLearning #ArduinoProgramming #RoboticsEducation #HardwareIntegration #STEMSkills #FutureReadySkills #InnovationInEducation

Our XCL World Academy 7th grade students are diving into an exciting, multi-day robotics project that brings coding, creativity, and storytelling together. Using the micro:bit (Micro:bit Educational Foundation) as the “brain,” students are learning how technology can sense and respond to the world—programming lights, sounds, and movement to display messages, react to input, and control simple outputs. Working in small teams, students are transforming everyday objects into expressive robot puppets, combining engineering with imagination. The project will culminate in a collaborative performance where each puppet tells a story, reacts to stimuli, or expresses emotion through code. Through this hands-on experience, students are building technical skills while exploring creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving—key foundations for future innovators. #MiddleSchoolSTEM #microbit #CreativeComputing

We recently worked on an Arduino-based Color Sorter project, where learning went beyond theory and into real-world application. Through this project, we explored: 🔹 How sensors detect and differentiate colors 🔹 Basic Arduino programming and logic building 🔹 The integration of hardware and software 🔹 Core STEM concepts through practical experimentation Projects like these show how hands-on learning makes STEM education more engaging, interactive, and impactful—especially for students starting their journey in technology and engineering. Excited to keep building, learning, and experimenting! 💡🤖 #STEMEducation #Arduino #HandsOnLearning #EmbeddedSystems #EngineeringStudents #LearningByDoing #Technology #Innovation Syed Misbah Noor
