Sphero Blueprint Engineering Kit

Bring engineering excitement to your middle and high school learners at school or at home!

The Blueprint Engineering Kit supports 1–2 learners, helping them grasp foundational engineering and robotics concepts as they design, build, and power working prototypes. Blueprint Engineering helps take mechanical and structural engineering concepts to the next level with power, sensors, and motors - all without the need for programming.

Targeted for students ages 11-18, Blueprint Engineering enables students to become true inventors by exploring and mastering the fundamentals of engineering, robotics, and computational thinking.

Using Sphero Blueprint, students will:

• Build complex structures from the ground up, reinforcing them for real-world durability.
• Discover mechanical systems using components like gears, pulleys, and levers.
• Experiment with electrical systems with power, sensors and motors - all without the need for programming.

Blueprint Engineering provides the perfect foundation for critical STEM skills while engaging students in the creative process of engineering design. 

• Easy Prototyping: Includes 355 mechanical parts and 17 electrical Bits that are easy to assemble for rapid prototyping due to their practical size and visual and technical simplicity.
• Lessons & Unit Plans Included: Access 100+ hours of in-depth, standards-aligned lessons and unit plans (including over 30 guided builds). Blueprint Engineering is also fully compatible with Blueprint Build unit plans.
• Hands-On Problem Solving: Students quickly design, build, and test mechanical and electrical engineering concepts in a single class period.
• Engineering & Beyond: Students explore cross-curricular concepts in robotics, engineering, and design while learning critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
• Relevant Learning: Flexible and standards-aligned lessons and unit plans guide learners through simple and compound machines and calculating mechanical advantage.
• Build in CAD: Support CAD curriculums with Blueprint Engineering parts in SolidWorks, OnShape, and STEP files.
