Sphero Fun

Coding has always been a scary notion for me.  I remember my high school computer class and the DOS commands.  It was not only boring, but hard to understand for someone like me.  How can I possibly be able to do any of this?

And along comes Sphero.  Sphero is a small robotic ball that you can command to do certain things.  It was not only easy to control with the wonderful apps available, it was fun!  I have decided that I am going to purchase one for myself and my children to play with.  What better toy or technology game for kids than one that teaches them coding skills?
