The Sphero indi Code Mat is a two-sided, interactive coding mat with accompanying literacy activity cards and guide with standards-aligned lesson ideas. It offers endless opportunities for screenless learning and fun with Sphero indi (not included) and was designed to support ELA curriculum.

Side One welcomes students to indi Land, where each of the eight locations is connected to a different literacy concept. Students can use their indi colour tiles to guide indi to the Retelling Rollercoaster and discuss the beginning, middle, and end of a story or identify and consider characters at the Character Cabins. Each location offers an opportunity to strengthen literacy skills and have discussions rooted in a shared text.

Side Two is an adaptable, blank grid that assists students in placing their indi colour tiles when programming indi. It can be used alongside the accompanying literacy cards for practising objectives such as letter identification, word formation, and sentence construction or can be used to facilitate hands-on learning in other subject areas.
 
The Sphero indi Code Mat is a recipient of a 2024 “Enhanced Curriculum Innovation Award” from the EdTech Breakthrough Awards program! Learn more here.
