Florida STEM/Computer Science Symposium
Sphero is thrilled to partner with Volusia County Public Schools for a FREE STEM and Computer Science Symposium for principals, school leaders, and PK–12 STEM/STEAM educators eager to bring coding, robotics, and problem-solving into the classroom. This dynamic opportunity will provide hands-on professional learning experience designed through engaging activities with Sphero indi, BOLT+, RVR+, and Blueprint Engineering.
Participants will explore how to teach foundational coding and computational thinking while tackling real-world challenges. Discover how computer science can enhance interdisciplinary instruction, foster critical thinking, and empower students to design solutions. Walk away with ready-to-use lesson plans and a supportive network of like-minded educators, plus the inspiration to lead meaningful innovation in your district.
