Publish Lessons in the Sphero Edu App
The Sphero Central website allows users to create and publish custom lessons for the Sphero Edu community. When you submit a lesson, it is reviewed by the Sphero team.
-
Approved lessons will appear in the Community Lessons section of the Sphero Edu apps.
-
Rejected lessons will revert to private status and will not be available to the community.
Who Can Publish Lessons?
Users with a Parent or Teacher account can sign in and create lessons on Sphero Central. The lesson builder is only available on the website and is not accessible through the Sphero Edu apps on iOS, macOS, Android, or Windows.

Include images, instructor tips, and assessments to enrich the lesson.
-
Adding a starting program can help users engage quickly.

Ensure lessons are appropriate for all ages.
