**Updated 05/03/23 with larger card size variation as well as full-sized slides for projection.

This card set guides students through the process of creating a mini golf hole, with specific criteria and constraints to follow. Students will then use the Sphero Edu app to program their robot ball to navigate the course they've created. Along the way, they'll learn valuable coding and problem-solving skills.

To complete this challenge, students will need butcher paper, construction paper or markers, and of course, a Sphero robot ball. And for those groups who finish early, we've included an additional "challenge" card to keep the learning going.

Bring the excitement of mini golf and robotics into your classroom with our Mini Golf STEAM card set!

in which variables are controlled and

failure points are considered to identify

aspects of a model or prototype that can

be improved.

problem reflecting a need or a want that

includes specified criteria for success and

constraints on materials, time, or cost.
