📝 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.

PROGRAMS: Program your bots in 3 ways with Draw, Block, and Text modes. Start with the basics and grow.
SENSOR DATA: See location, accelerometer, gyroscope, velocity, and distance sensor data through visual graphs.
LESSONS: Program a painting. Navigate a maze. Mimic the solar system. The only limit is your imagination.
TAKE A DRIVE: Need a brain break? Set LED colors on your robot and zoom around in Drive mode.
ASSIGNMENTS: Are you a teacher? Monitor progress by creating lessons and assigning them to your students.

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
