“Our 8th-grade engineering students are hooked on building with Sphero Blueprint kits! They're obsessed with the limitless ways to modify and improve their designs. I'm obsessed with the pre-built lessons, student handouts, and teacher guides!”

- Jamie N., Erie, CO

“Teaching with Sphero Blueprint kits has been a game-changer in my classroom. The hands-on experience of building and inventing captivates my students, fostering creativity and a genuine interest in STEM. Blueprint has seamlessly integrated into my curriculum, providing an engaging way for students to explore, learn, and enjoy the process of invention.” – Christy R., Pearcy, AR”

- Christy R., Pearcy, AR

“The simplicity of assembly of the kits makes them easily accessible to all students. Students have been able to follow the instructions and feel empowered to modify and alter the designs, test new ideas, and attempt their own concepts.”

- Dave Wolfe, Computer Science Educator, Cornerstone Academy, OH

Built by the People Who Know

Blueprint wasn’t dreamed up in a boardroom. It was created by STEM educators, robotics champions turned coaches, and engineers who know both sides of the classroom.

That mix shaped a system of parts, lessons, and guides that allow real engineering learning during the school day—complex enough to matter, clear enough to teach.
