Sphero Painting Pit

4/25/2016

I had the privileged to be apart of the STEAM Area Showcase at Bad Axe Middle School this past weekend. It was such a neat event with so many attractions to see.

I wanted to do something with 20 Spheros that I manage at the Huron ISD, so I decided to create a 10 foot by 10 foot painting pit. I got this idea from a YouTube video of a tiny painting pit done in New York City. I decided to maximize as much space I could use in the classroom I was doing this activity in, and that is why I used 10 foot boards.

Here are some of the supplies that you will need to pull this off:

Spheros and chargers
iPads
Four 2'x4's at the length that best fits your space. I used 10 footers.
A drill and screws to create your 2'x4' wooded border
A tarp big enough to go under your wooden border. This will keep you from having a huge mess on your floor
A lot of white butcher block paper. I bought a 3'x150' roll for $20
Access to a sink. If you do not have a sink nearby, fill up a large tub halfway with water to wash off the Spheros when done using them
Lots of paper towel
Paint of all colors
Sphero Nubby Covers (not needed, but these covers can give your painting a different texture)

Painting is one of the most amazing activities in our class. Well, I have started going to a community college near my house, it was not because I lack education, it was just because I wanted to learn more. I attend this community college about twice a month, the best part of it is the painting class. I never knew that I actually love painting, not until I tried it. I hope to get more classes with painting next semester.
