Description
The Sphero Mini is a coding robot ball about the size of a ping pong ball — small enough for the kitchen table, sturdy enough to race across the floor. It's a friendly first step into coding and STEM: children drive it, play games with it, then learn to program it, all from a free app. A great introduction for ages 8 and up.
What's included:
- 1 × Sphero Mini robot (ping-pong-ball size) with a removable, interchangeable shell
- 3 mini traffic cones and 6 mini bowling pins for races and obstacle courses
- Micro USB charging cable
- Free Sphero Play app to drive and play, plus the Sphero Edu app to code
- Free, standards-aligned lessons in Sphero Central
What your child practises:
- The basics of coding — from drag-and-drop Blocks to written JavaScript
- Problem-solving and logic by building and navigating their own courses
- How sensors work, using the built-in gyroscope, accelerometer and LED lights
- Cross-curricular skills across maths, science and reading
Packed with real tech in a tiny, colourful package and easy enough to start in minutes — a simple, hands-on way to bring coding home or into the classroom. Designed for ages 8+, with adult supervision for younger children, as the shell opens to reveal small parts.
