Data Sheet

Education
Based on pilot-class testing of Sparki with middle school aged children, as well as extensive experience
teaching Arduino classes to kids and adults alike, we’re developing complete tutorials and individual or
classroom lesson plans for Sparki, all available for free (CC Attribution licensed).
Here are some of the things you’ll learn how to do:
• Edge avoidance
• Line following
• Maze solving
• Wall avoidance
• Room navigation
• Object retrieval
• Follow/hide from light sources
• Shape drawing
• Computer input (make a keyboard/mouse using sensors)
• Games with other Sparkis
And more advanced concepts:
• PID Loops
• Pathfinding algorithms
• Signal Filtering
• Heuristics
