The Sphero Mini Education Kit has everything you need to get rolling and learning, including 16 clear Sphero Mini app-enabled robotic balls, bumper covers to protect your bots, mini traffic cones, bowling pins, construction sets, and activity cards that help expand playtime and imagination in STEAM learning.
Packed with teeny tiny tech, Sphero Mini has a little gyroscope, accelerometer, and LED lights. With almost an hour of play time, your students will have the room to stretch their imagination—all while having fun learning!
Learn the fundamentals of STEM and coding with mini traffic cones, bowling pins, construction sets, and step-by-step activity cards with STEM-inspired challenges and games.
The Sphero Edu app empowers anyone to program their Mini. Draw paths, use Scratch blocks, or write your own JavaScript text programs. Use actions, controls, operators, and more to give your bot the orders.
Sphero Edu provides a toolset unbounded in its potential. It uses app-enabled robots to foster creativity through discovery and play, all while laying the foundation for computer science. The program goes beyond code with collaborative STEAM activities, nurturing students’ imaginations in ways no other education program can.
