Sphero Mini are giving away one of their fun and educational robots to a lucky winner! Sphero Mini robot is a tiny, app-enabled robotic ball, about the size of a ping pong ball, that can be controlled using the app, or with facial expressions through its new Face Drive™ feature.
The Mini robot can be programmed using the Sphero Edu app. Designed for learner progression, Sphero Edu beginners can command Mini by drawing a path in the app for the robot to follow. Intermediate coders can use code blocks to learn more advanced logic. Pros can use text programming and write their own JavaScript.
Accessible from almost any platform, you can program using your smart device and the Sphero Edu app or download the Chrome app on Chromebooks and more.
Mini can be used to play different games. Use the ball as a controller to shoot your way through space, race a ship through a tunnel, or rotate your ball to destroy a polygon of bricks.
