Review on Programmable App-Enabled Sphero BOLT Robot Ball With Sensors, LED Matrix, Infrared & Compass - STEM Educational Toy For Kids To Learn JavaScript, Scratch & Swift by Vince Dickey

I picked up BOLT from a local retailer and I must say it’s a nice upgrade from SPRK+. I’ve used SPRK+ to help kids learn how to code by dragging and dropping building blocks of code to create macros that the ball then executes. The BOLT new matrix allows for additional programming that is both visually appealing and fun for kids. Especially in the dark, the matrix comes to life. You can even create games on the matrix using it as a hand held controller.The EDU app has been updated for BOLT with access to all of the community apps and videos that have already been created using SPRK+.I’ll update the review later, but first impressions indicate that this is great upgrade from SPRK+.
