Sphero mini Activity Kit

After participating in coding week at school, my 8 year old son came home so excited to share with me that he had the chance to play around with a sphero robot and his little eyes lit up. He asked for one for his upcoming birthday and excitedly told me all about it. I bought this with the activity set as he will be able to get more out of the sphero mini. I can’t wait to see his little face when he opens it. Such a great product and it is very refreshing to hear a child these days be so passionate about learning.

The Sphero Mini Activity Kit is an amazing introduction to coding and robotics! The app is intuitive and fun, offering a range of challenges that kept my kids (and me) entertained for hours. The 55-piece construction set adds a creative, hands-on element, making learning both interactive and engaging. It's a perfect gift for anyone curious about STEM, and the durable design ensures it can handle plenty of playtime.

Es mucho más de lo que parece. Como robot y como"coche teledirigido en bola" es muy divertido para jugar,sin entrar aún en el área de aprendizaje de programación en bloques o Python. Tiene varios complementos para hacer un circuito,un juego de bolos...y en la web hay mapas para imprimir y rodarla encima,y fichas para hacer más actividades con temática de golf y fútbol. Para iniciar a los niños en la programación o que puedan practicar en casa cosas que les enseñan en el cole solo encontré los que se hacen llamar robots educativos y que se les montan piezas de lego o incluso módulos de arduino, y luego estaba este robot ( porque es un robot radiocontrol,no es una pelotita). Este lo veo mejor para niños hasta 8 años. Incluso mejor que los que vienen para montarlos...que en mi entorno acaban montando los padres.

Got this for my son for Christmas and promptly spent the next several days dodging it as it executed multiple patterns (programmed by my son) around my living room. Since then the metaphorical shine has worn off of it somewhat, but he keeps coming back to it and overall I feel he more than got my money's worth out of it in the first couple of days. On a side note, I haven't the foggiest what the "thickness" feature I was rating refers to, but I certainly have no complaints about it (never having thought about it in the first place), so what the heck, five stars there.

This Sphero mini ball is a lot of fun. Almost endless options for activities. The activity kit makes this so much more fun, with activity cards and props to use. My 9yo daughter loves it. I would suggest this toy for tech minded kids from 8yo and up. The robotic ball is well made, the app is simple to use. I suggest purchasing the Sphero carry case along with this. Stores everything nicely. Highly recommend the Sphero mini and activity kit.
