KIBO STEAM Robot

KIBO engages even the youngest children in active learning. When children build, code and decorate their own robot, they are learning invaluable skills that will lead them on the path for success in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) skills and future careers.  With KIBO, 4-7 year olds create, design, decorate and bring their own robot to life! KIBO kids’ imaginations soar – all without requiring screen time on PCs, tablets or smartphones.

Designed for open-ended play, KIBO lets kids make almost anything – a character from a story, a carousel, a dancer, a race helicopter – anything you can think of. The child creates a sequence of instructions (a program) using the wooden KIBO blocks. They scan the blocks with the KIBO body to tell the robot what to do. They press the button and the robot comes alive! With KIBO, young children can become programmers, engineers, designers, artists, dancers, choreographers and writers.
