Available in 11 different colours, the Sphero Mini is an app-enabled robotic ball that packs lots of fun in a small package – about the size of a ping-pong ball. This capable little robot is equipped with a gyroscope, accelerometer and colourful LED lights; curious kids can control the Sphero Mini via smartphone in Joystick, Slingshot or Tilt mode. The accompanying app also lets them use the robot as a game controller for arcade-style games. In Blocks Drive mode your child can learn the basics of drag-and-drop coding commands, but more advanced learners can download the Sphero Edu app (compatible with IOS and Android) for more ways to program this educational bot, including Javascript and Swift. Founded in 2010, Sphero is looking to change the world with its fleet of Stem-friendly educational robots, allowing children to learn, create, invent and explore the world around them like never before.
