#SPHERO EDU CHROMEBOOK APP ANDROID#

The Sphero Mini is compatible with both the Sphero Edu and Sphero Mini apps.ħ. Students can open the Mini’s shell and see its internal components at work while in use. The original Sphero Mini has some of the same sensors as the Sphero BOLT, including motor encoders, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer, as well as LED lights that students can manipulate with code. However, it's the size of a ping pong ball. For comparison, the BOLT is about the size of a baseball. You can tell the difference between the original Sphero Mini robot and the newer version simply by their colors. The originals are white on the outside with either a blue, green, pink, or orange stripe. The newer version, on the other hand, is completely clear. The Mini can travel at up to 2.2 mph or 1 meter per second - about half the top speed of the BOLT. It's perfect for indoor use on hard floors or those with very thin carpet, whereas the BOLT can be used outdoors and through dirt, water, and paint. The Mini was available on our store individually in a variety of different colors or in a classroom pack of 16. The Sphero Mini shells are interchangeable and there is an additional accessory pack available if you’re looking for more. Inside the individual pack, you’ll find accessories to get you started, including three mini traffic cones and six mini bowling pins, as well as a charging cable for the robot. It connects via Bluetooth to the Sphero Edu app or Sphero Mini app and also allows students to code in three different modes: Draw, Scratch, and JavaScript.

Our favorite aspect of the Sphero Mini is that it is completely compatible with the Sphero Edu app. It allows for the same coding experiences students get with the BOLT for less than half the price, which continues to make it one of the most affordable robots for education. Additionally, kids can connect to the newer Sphero Mini app, which has more games and functions that keep them engaged while learning.
