Testimonials

Hear from educators around the world who use Sphero to create memorable learning experiences for their students.

“The indi's were purchased for our RISE (autistic) program in mind, but I used them with 1st and 2nd grade classes as well. This opportunity was an extension of our online coding lessons from Code.org. It enhanced their understanding of commands, patterns, collaborative work, and problem solving. I look forward to continuing with the lessons we did not complete last year.”
–  Joanne W., Middletown, DE

“My older students adore the Sphero BOLT! They have loved maneuvering them around the classroom and learning to program them in many ways. My youngest students equally adore the indis. Their faces light up when they see them and they are learning about patterns, debugging and problem-solving, while at the same time taking turns and having fun!”
– Heather P., Middletown, DE

“When we first received our indi 8 Pack, it was just in time for the annual STEAM night at our school. With just a few hints and a few minutes of experimentation, the younger kids were creating complex mazes and routes. It was amazing!”
– Lorin S., Sandy, UT

“Sphero indi has proven to be a transformative tool in my Computer Science professional development sessions with classroom teachers. Witnessing the teachers' reactions as they engage with this robot underscores its significant impact on students' enthusiasm for learning computational thinking skills.”
– Dr. Charisse Snell, Troy, AL

“My 1st and 2nd grade students love coding the indi robot! The intuitive programming tiles helped them get started without much instruction. We have found lots of ways to connect the indi to our curriculum and use it as an engaging tool for the students to demonstrate their learning.”
– Jamie N., Erie, CO
