The Sphero BOLT, an educational robotic ball with prismatic perfection, is the newest item in Fraser Valley Regional Library’s Playground collection.

The app-enabled robots provide unlimited ways to express your inventive ideas and experience the power of programming. Best of all, they are free to borrow with a library card.

Designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and invention, the Sphero BOLT is more than a robot. Wrapped in a polycarbonate shell, the device is durable and waterproof. Display custom graphics and real-time data with its 8x8 programmable LED matrix and let your creativity shine through. Connect the BOLT to the Sphero Edu app to play educational games, create your own, and learn how to code through hands-on STEAM activities.

“The BOLT seamlessly brings robotics, coding and STEAM principles together – all through play,” says Heather Scoular, Director of Customer Experience. “We know that play is a powerful teacher, and our goal with all of our Playground experiences is to provide our customers with engaging opportunities to learn while also having fun! Use the BOLT to navigate a maze, program a painting, mimic the solar system, swim across water or have a dance party. The only limit is your imagination.”
