How Does indi Work?

indi Screenless learning.

Screenless Coding

With indi’s onboard color sensor, young learners can communicate instructions to indi by placing color tiles on the floor that tell it what to do and where to go (and how fast!).

Connected coding

Once kids have mastered screenless programming, they can learn basic block coding concepts in the free Sphero Edu Jr app by reconfiguring how indi reacts to each color: adding new movements, lights, sounds, and even celebrations!

Getting Started

indi is ready to program right out of the box—no setup or device required.

indi Colors

Sphero indi color cards.

The indi Student Kit and Class Pack include durable, latex-free rubber color tiles that are easy to clean and made to last. The indi At-Home Learning Kit includes color cards made from cardstock with adhesive tape to keep the cards in place. With the indi Class Pack, educators receive bonus color cards for extending or creating additional mazes.

Make Your Own Colors

Some may wish to create their own color tiles, cards, or paths for indi. Keep in mind that each color is programmed into the firmware and instantly recognizable by indi. Other color sources, such as construction paper and markers, may not provide as consistent of an experience as using the color tiles and/or cards included with your indi(s).
