Discover a fun and imaginative way to learn programming with Sphero Mini! This compact robot, measuring about the same size as a ping pong ball, is perfect for beginners, offering intuitive coding and a range of features that make it a fun and engaging tool for exploring the world of STEAM. Equipped with a gyroscope, accelerometer, and colourful LED lights, this educational coding robot is more than a robot toy.
PROGRAMMING FOR BEGINNERS: Sphero Mini provides three programming canvases suitable: Draw, Blocks, and Text in the Sphero Edu app, allowing young students the ability to quickly learn how to code, control the robot's movements, and customise its features.
EXPANSIVE ACTIVITY LIBRARY: The free Sphero Edu app offers an array of activities that teach computer science concepts and enhance learning in core subjects like maths, science, and ELA, making it easy for educators to incorporate STEAM into their curriculum. In the Sphero Play App (recommended for home), you can use Mini as a game controller for arcade-style games.
PACKED WITH TECH: Sphero Mini contains a gyroscope, motor encoders, and an accelerometer, as well as a bright, colourful LED to add an extra layer of excitement to the learning process.
TABLETOP FRIENDLY: Mini is small enough for tabletop learning but sturdy enough to roll around on the floor. Learners can easily maneuver the robots around their desks or workspaces, encouraging hands-on learning and interaction in a space-efficient manner.
EXCITING ACCESSORIES: Mini comes with cones and pins that can be used to create a range of engaging activities, from navigating mazes to robot races!
Note: Adult supervision is recommended when using Sphero Mini with children under 8 years of age, as the robot's shell is designed to open up, exposing smaller parts that need to be handled with care and could be a choking hazard for little ones.
