There’s no other Australian event that is part of the Sphero Global Challenge: the ultimate Robotics competition where winners will progress through to the World Championships!

The Sphero Global Challenge – presented by STEM It Up Sports – is an opportunity for students to go deeper with computational thinking, engineering, and programming skills.

It challenges learners to become master programmers, stealthy problem solvers, and top-notch teammates. With Mission Objectives designed for student agents of all ability levels, learners will grow and have a blast on this undercover adventure.

Students will compete in groups of 5, with at least two female team members per team. Teams of all abilities are encouraged to work together to identify problems and develop solutions centered around the season’s theme.

Through this challenge, students will work to accomplish their goals at the Energy Breakthrough’s State Final competition before the winners can progress to the World Championships. Wow.

The Sphero Global Challenge is a competition that inspires creativity, innovation, and teamwork. With Events for primary school to early secondary students of all ability levels, this journey through time will challenge participants to wormhole their way through complex problems and work together as a team to achieve success.
