This hands-on professional learning experience features engaging sessions with indi, BOLT+, and Blueprint Robotics, giving participants the chance to explore innovative ways to teach foundational engineering, robotics, and real-world problem solving.
Discover how computer science, engineering and robotics can enhance interdisciplinary learning, build critical thinking skills, and empower students to design creative solutions. You’ll leave with ready-to-use lesson plans, a supportive educator network, and the inspiration to lead meaningful innovation in your district.
Keynote Speaker
Join us for an engaging kickoff session designed to inspire educators, spark new ideas, and set the stage for a day of hands-on learning.

Ed Campos
Educator & Technologist
As the Director of Campo Creatívo, a dream idea he's had since 2018.
Ed grew up in Earlimart, CA in the Central Valley and after attending UCLA worked as a Software Consultant in Silicon Valley for 3 years before pivoting and finding his true calling in Education.
He's been in education for 20 years (13 as a classroom teacher and the last 7 as a Consultant). He's currently working with a wonderful team at Kings County Office of Education and his focus is on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). Ed loves creating dopamine-filled experiences for educators and their students which often comes with re-imagining & re-designing the physical classroom space.
His creative outlets are drawing (with pencil/paper, iPad, and/or chalk), writing, storytelling through fellowship or keynotes, and creating magical & healing charcuterie boards for friends and family to graze and connect over.

The Sphero STEM Symposium was a day of learning, collaboration, and play! It was incredible to see educators from across the state come together to explore STEM and robotics-integrated lessons. Hearing laughter and watching teachers exchange ideas and contact info was the best feedback on the day’s success!
