*** LATEST: Sphero indi is on TIME’s list of the Best Inventions of 2021! ***
Introduction
Speed into STEAM with this indi kit designed to engage kids ages 4+ in hours of exciting exploratory learning and play at home. Perfect for parents, grandparents, caretakers, or anyone looking to equip their young learners with coding, computational thinking, and problem-solving skills, the indi At-Home Learning Kit provides hours of self-guided, screenless engagement. Kids will discover how to communicate instructions to indi with color cards, solve puzzles, and direct indi through mazes they dream up. Once they’ve mastered screenless programming, kids can learn block coding concepts by changing how indi reacts to different color cards in the Sphero Edu Jr app.
- DESIGN AND CREATE: Teach kids to problem solve like an engineer as they design and build colorful, custom mazes for indi to navigate
- SCREENLESS & APP-ENABLED OPTIONS: Kids learn the basics of programming with the included color cards (no screen required) or level up with Sphero’s all-new, simplified drag-and-drop blocks in the free Sphero Edu Jr app, designed just for indi
- SPARK CREATIVITY: Customize indi with stickers and encourage creative expression and exploratory learning by driving indi through endless mazes and pathways
- HOURS OF FUN, RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX: As soon as kids open their indi, they begin learning cause and effect, pattern recognition, colors, directions, and more as they play at home

App Features:
- Use Sphero Edu Jr’s all new block programming to understand the basics of coding and computer science principles.
Sends the program directly to indi, so you don’t have to worry about disconnections while running your program or solving mazes.
Control indi’s lights and choose between solid colors and different light patterns on the top LED.
Reprogram how indi responds to different colors by choosing from a variety of movements, lights, and sounds that appear when you navigate over the associated color tile.
Control the sounds your robot makes and have indi play notes to songs as it passes over the color tiles.
Control indi’s movements with different program directions and animated movements like a celebration dance.
Send a custom program to indi and have your students try to figure out what was sent.
In addition to programming indi, Sphero Edu Jr allows you to drive indi with intuitive controls.
