Spot @
Code & Circuit
Spot is a four-legged robot made by Boston Dynamics. In 2021, one special Spot found a home at Code & Circuit, a non-profit computer science school in Amesbury, Massachusetts.
Since then, Spot has been exploring and inspiring in our classroom and community, changing lives—one yellow step at a time!
2023 Code & Circuit Invited to Visit The AI Institute
Founder Ken Aspeslagh and Executive Director Lori Towle had a unique opportunity to tour the Boston Dynamics AI Institute and showcase Code & Circuit's use of Spot in STEM education. Members of the research team learned about our Robotics in Residence program for schools, and were introduced to the ability to code their Spot robots using the Scratch programming language. (With an extension developed by C&C's Spot Team member, Will Scheirey).

SPOT
TEAM
Code & Circuit's teen students are invited to join Spot Team. Meeting weekly throughout the school year, Spot Team's goal is to develop new ways of using and coding Spot in a classroom environment.
The team experimented with building payloads, crafting Spot SDKs in different languages, and ways of controlling Spot with AI.
