Cyber Monday Giveaway: Sphero SPRK

Category Contests

This contest post will stay at the top of the page from 9:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. Eastern on Monday, November 30th, 2015. Read on to find out about today’s prize and enter to win!

I saved a prize for today, in the spirit of Cyber Monday, or—as I like to call it—“Geez I am getting tired of all this hype” day. I thought I had a civic duty to make it a little more fun, you see.

sphero-SPRK

Meet Sphero SPRK, quite possibly the most fun way to learn programming hands-on from your phone or tablet. This kit includes your Sphero robot and everything you need to learn to program it yourself. It’s fun for all ages, and if you don’t mention that it’s educational, your kids probably won’t even realize how much they’re learning. (My kids’ high school actually uses these in their Tech classes to learn how to code. They’re truly flexible to all levels and ages.)

Make it roll, make it stop, make it light up different colors, make it respond to various situations, make it make you breakfast. (Disclaimer: I don’t think it can really make you breakfast. No thumbs.) You may find yourself playing with it just as much as the kids.

Want to win it? Of course you do! First, go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post today (Monday, November 30th, 2015) by 9:00 p.m. Eastern (that’s 6:00 p.m. Pacific) for a chance to win. The winner will be pulled at random but probably not announced until tomorrow, because now that my family is back they seem to want me to pay attention to them and stuff.

Ready? Go!

    This looks like something my son would LOVE! He has a robot on his Christmas list and when I asked him for specifics, he just shrugged and said, “You know, a ROBOT.” Thanks, kid.

  53. EG on November 30, 2015 at 10:08 am

    Hopefully my kids would take to it so I don’t have to say, “Mommy doesn’t know much about coding” over and over (Although I did get a B- in C++ back in 1997, which made me really happy. Because a B- is a C++.) I already say, “Mommy doesn’t know much about Minecraft” and “Mommy doesn’t know much about Star Wars” fairly often.

  54. Robin E on November 30, 2015 at 10:08 am

    My 13 & 16 year old just participated this summer is a coding camp called http://www.hack4hope.com, it was aimed at bringing coding to inner city school kids. My 16 year old just got permission at his school to offer a class in January that is student taught on coding & this looks like the best classroom mascot ever to motivate the kids. Pretty please oh beautiful Mir! This would be a perfect home for this!

    I’m going to try and make it vacuum, unless it’s too much of a prince unlike the lowly but useful Roomba. If that fails I’ll settle for an alarm clock.
