What Are Splats?

Splats are interactive floor buttons that students use to play active, standards-aligned games! With a simple Bluetooth connection to your device (laptop or tablet), they light up, track points, run timers, and trigger sounds. Students load or code activities in the app—and then the off-screen fun begins!
