- KIBO is a screen free robot kit designed for children
- Based on two decades of research in early childhood development, this hands on educational robot encourages young students to learn STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics)
- STEAM learning with KIBO is enjoyable, creative, and straightforward. Young learners can explore these concepts by coding in a playful manner
- KIBO has been proven to be effective in helping kids learn STEAM and sparking their enthusiasm for it
KIBO is a screen free robotic kit for kids aged 4 to 7, which enables them to create, design, decorate and bring their own robot to life! KIBO is an easy and fun way to introduce robotics and coding to young learners and to ignite their interest in STEAM.
KIBO, being a robotic kit, involves two aspects. The first is the hardware, which is the robot itself. The second is the software, which connects all the programming blocks and makes the robot move.
It may sound complicated, but KIBO is an easy DIY kit. We have included learning materials to help better understand the wheels, motors, light output and all the other sensors, so you can be assured that your kid will have a great time with the KIBO kit.
KIBO robot has an embedded scanner (built in). The scanner scans the barcodes of programming blocks and commands the robot based on the chosen programmed block. It is important to note that for this age group, no touch screen time is required. Therefore, you do not need a computer or a tablet for it to work.
We want it to be a joyful toy for creative learning and do not suggest exposing kids to long hours of screen time. After all, it is not good for their health either. The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with this recommendation for kids.
