Sphero Mini (Blue): Coding Robot Ball for Kids & Teens • Bluetooth Educational Play

Compact, capable, and built for curious minds

Sphero Mini Blue is a pint-sized programmable robot the size of a ping pong ball. Its built in gyroscope, accelerometer, and color changing LED lights deliver tactile feedback as you move, turning exploration into a hands on, sensory learning experience. Designed with beginners in mind, this tiny robot invites young creators to experiment, tinker, and grow their coding and problem solving skills in a friendly, approachable way.

Accessible coding paths

Code with the free Sphero Edu app by drawing on your screen, using drag and drop coding blocks, or writing JavaScript. This multi path approach makes starting simple while offering a clear path to deeper understanding as you progress. The Bluetooth connection keeps setup quick and portable for learning spaces at home, in class, or on the go.

• Draw your code on screen, drag and drop blocks, or type JavaScript to customize Sphero Mini’s actions.
• Enjoy a Bluetooth connected experience that stays within reach for spontaneous practice anytime, anywhere.

Three ways to drive and explore

Three drive modes give you flexible control and immediate feedback. The box even includes a starter obstacle kit to spark creativity from the first session.

• Drive mode offers Joystick for precise steering, Slingshot for quick launches, and Tilt mode to steer by moving your device.
• Obstacle course fun right out of the box with three traffic cones and six bowling pins.

Play, learn, and create

Beyond coding, Sphero Mini doubles as a game controller for arcade style play in the Sphero Play app. Short play sessions are ideal for small spaces or travel, and the robot’s 1 hour of play time on a full charge supports quick bursts of creativity on demand.

• Use Sphero Play to drive, shoot through space, speed through tunnels, or smash a polygon of bricks in a compact setting.
• One hour of play time invites focused practice or quick challenges that fit into busy days.
