Learn with indi

This section includes links to more learning resources that will help you get the most out of your indi. If you arrived here from the Get Started with indi guide included in your STEM at Home Pack, you're in the right place. 

You can learn with indi in two different ways: 

Option 1: Learn with indi using beginner challenge cards and colour-coded tiles (included in this kit) that are programmed to make indi move and do different actions.

Option 2: Learn with indi using block-based coding in the Sphero Edu Jr. app.                                                This option requires a device with an internet connection (not provided in this kit).  Visit sphero.com/downloads for more details. Instructions on how to get started with the app can also be found in the STEM at Home: Get Started with Sphero indi guide (included in this kit). If you have difficulty downloading the app, please check your device’s compatibility here.
