Sphero Indi Education Robot - Student Kit

Sphero indi Student Kit: Big Coding Discoveries, No Screen Required

A colour tile, a curious mind and a robot ready to roll. The Sphero indi Education Robot Student Kit introduces early learners to coding through hands-on play. Children arrange colour tiles, build a maze and watch how indi responds, then change the route and try again.

Designed for 1–3 students at a time, this kit brings computational thinking, problem solving and creative exploration into the classroom or home. Start with screenless programming using indi’s on-board colour sensor, then explore more coding options with the free Sphero Edu Jr app.

What's Inside

• 1 × indi robot
• 20 × durable silicone colour tiles
• 1 × student case for carrying and storage
• 15 × Beginner’s Programming Challenge Cards
• 1 × quick start guide
• 2 × decorative sticker sheets to customise indi
• 1 × charging cable

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It

• Coding they can touch: arranging colour tiles gives children a hands-on way to explore sequences, patterns and how instructions affect a robot’s movements.
• Room to experiment: build a track, predict where indi will go and adjust the layout when the route needs a rethink.
• A shared challenge: small groups can work together to design mazes and solve the programming challenges.
• A starting point without a screen: indi’s colour sensor reads the tiles, so children can begin programming without using the app.
• More to discover: Sphero Edu Jr’s drag-and-drop blocks let learners change how indi moves, lights up and makes sounds.
• Guidance when you need it: the included challenge cards and quick start guide help turn a first play session into a new learning adventure.

Good to Know Before You Buy

This Student Kit contains one indi robot and is designed for 1–3 learners, rather than a whole class using individual robots. It can also supplement an existing indi Class Pack.

The app is optional for the initial colour-tile programming experience. For extended coding, the free Sphero Edu Jr app lets children reprogram indi’s responses to colours, choose movements and light patterns, add sounds, or drive indi using its controls. Programs are sent directly to indi to run.

A charging cable is included. The kit suits classroom activities, home learning and homeschool lessons, with open-ended track building alongside the supplied challenges.
