About this app

Sphero Edu is your hub to create, contribute, and learn with Sphero robots. Go beyond code by incorporating unique STEAM lessons to complete with your bot.

Designed for learner progression, Sphero Edu beginners can give robots commands by drawing a path in the app for their robot to follow. Intermediate coders can use Scratch blocks to learn more advanced logic, while pros can use text programming and write their own JavaScript or Python code.

Sphero Edu is built for makers, learners, educators, and parents. The interactive platform allows you to keep track of your class or group from one easy place. Anyone can save their progress, jump from device to device, and continue the discovery from anywhere. Preparing for the future has never been so fun.

Ratings and reviews

I could not be more disappointed and angry that this does not support the droids. We bought all the Star Wars droids. They are now garbage, they might as be paper weights. I feel Shpero should give some sort of refund for trashing the app that controls these droids. what a waste of money, I will NEVER purchase another sphero product again. what's the point if your going to just trash the apps that control them, no thanks. That's some dirty business screwing loyal customers like that,never again!

This is absolutely garbage! pulled my BB8 droid out to show my kids the interactive capabilities and instead, I'm directed to this app that gives the droid none of it's original effects. sphero used to be a good company but now it looks like it's just abandoned their customers that spent money on a product and have been telling them there is nothing they can do about it. I'll never buy another Sphero product. Sphero should be reimbursing everyone that have wasted their money on these products

Good. However of late I can't connect to the original ollie even on a full charge and while the charging cord is connected. Opened it up and there aren't any broken connections. 29-07-22 shows how badly the testing scenarios have been written. I noticed that you have to click on the Bluetooth device name and then it connects. As far as the battery life is concerned it may have reduced but isn't near its end. Such sturdy toys shouldn't be just disposed. Don't go the Apple way.
