Sphero Mini Activity Kit Review

If you re looking for a fun and educational way to teach your kids about robotics, the Sphero Mini Activity Kit is an excellent choice. This kit contains everything you need to get rolling and playing, including a clear shelled Sphero Mini robotic ball, Construction Set, Activity Cards, Bowling Pins, and Cones. Whether you re constructing mazes, designing obstacle courses, constructing towers, playing croquet or more, this kit will provide hours of creative play.

The Sphero Play app makes controlling the robot toy easy and fun. You can drag and drive with Joystick mode, pull back and release with Slingshot mode or tip and rotate your mobile device with Tilt mode. The rails, arches and connector pieces open up unlimited construction possibilities for driving and playing. Kids can even use Sphero Mini as a game controller for arcade style games in the Sphero Play app.

For older children or those looking for a challenge, the Sphero Edu app offers additional ways to program your educational bot including JavaScript and Swift. Using the Blocks drive mode allows kids to give their coding robot basic drag and drop coding commands. With 15 STEM inspired activity cards included in the kit, you can easily inspire your child s creativity by following the guided challenges and games found on the activity cards.

This product is ideal for 8 months old children through adults who are interested in learning about robotics or coding. The product is not overly complicated or difficult to use which makes it perfect for younger children who have never used a robotic toy before but also offers enough advanced features that older children won t quickly become bored with it either.

The box includes 28 pieces of construction set components along with all of the necessary instructions needed to construct various mazes and obstacle courses that can be used with your Sphero Mini robotic ball. The kit also contains micro USB cable which comes in handy if you want to charge your mini robot before heading out on an adventure!

Overall, I highly recommend this product as a great way to introduce your kids or yourself! to robotics or coding concepts in a fun way that won t overwhelm them with too much information at once. If you re looking for an educational yet entertaining way to teach your kids about robotics, then I would definitely suggest purchasing this activity kit from Sphero!
