How Power Kids Club Uses Sphero indi to Make Robotics Inclusive for All Abilities
Robotics 2025 at Power Kids Club Clarkstown, NY
At Power Kids Club, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to explore, create, and thrive—especially when it comes to the exciting world of STEM. That’s why we’re passionate about integrating tools like Sphero indi into our programs. This small but powerful robot is helping us spark curiosity and build confidence in people of all abilities through hands-on, inclusive robotics education.
Whether someone learns best through movement, color, trial-and-error, or play, Sphero indi offers a meaningful and accessible way to introduce early coding and problem-solving skills. And the best part? It’s screen-free, simple to use, and full of creative potential.
What Makes Sphero indi So Special
At first glance, indi might look like a toy car—but it’s so much more. Members at Power Kids Club use colored tiles to guide indi along custom paths. Each color gives the robot a different instruction, such as turning, speeding up, or stopping. There’s no need to read, type, or use a screen.
That means participants can learn to code using colors, a beautifully intuitive way to understand logic, sequencing, and cause-and-effect relationships.
Building Foundational Skills in Meaningful Ways
With indi, members in our programs are developing essential life and STEM skills, often without even realizing it. They’re learning how to:
Sequence steps in a process
Predict outcomes and test ideas
Collaborate with others on shared challenges
Reflect and adapt when things don’t go as planned
These moments of growth lead to greater confidence, creativity, and critical thinking—skills that extend far beyond robotics.
A Safe and Supportive Space to Learn and Grow
At Power Kids Club, we see how indi helps create an environment where everyone can participate, contribute, and shine. Members come together to design paths, solve challenges, and celebrate successes. There's no pressure to compete—just encouragement to explore and express ideas.
Everyone can take part and feel proud of their accomplishments. That feeling of empowerment is at the heart of what we do.
Learning That Lasts
We know from experience that people learn best when they’re engaged and enjoying the process. With Sphero indi, we see excitement, laughter, and those unforgettable "aha" moments during each session.
It’s not just about programming a robot—it’s about discovering new ways to learn, connect, and succeed.
Join Us in Empowering Every Mind
At Power Kids Club, we are committed to making robotics and STEM education accessible, inclusive, and inspiring. Sphero indi is just one of the many tools we use to help individuals of all abilities unlock their potential—and we’re just getting started.
