Description
KIBO Intro kit contains everything a child needs for an introduction to programming and mobile robotics. Contains KIBO robot with 10 programming blocks, 4 parameter cards, 2 motors and two wheels.
What is KIBO?
KIBO is a robotics construction kit that involves hardware (the robot itself) and software (tangible programming blocks) used to make the robot move. KIBO is unique because it is explicitly designed to meet the developmental needs of young children. The kit contains easy to connect construction materials including: wheels, motors, light output, and a variety of sensors.
KIBO is programmed to move using interlocking wooden programming blocks. These wooden blocks contain no embedded electronics or digital components. Instead, KIBO has an embedded scanner in the robot. This scanner allows users to scan the barcodes on the programming blocks and send a program to their robot instantaneously. No computer, tablet, or other form of ‘‘screen-time’’ is required to learn programming with KIBO. This is aligned with the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendation that young children have a limited amount of screen time per day.
KIBO’s block language contains a total of 18 different individual programming blocks for children to learn, with many increasingly complex programming concepts that can be introduced including repeat loops, conditional statements, and nesting statements.
KIBO is unique because it is explicitly designed to meet the developmental needs of young children. The kit contains easy to connect construction materials including: wheels, motors, light output, and a variety of sensors.
In addition to these robotic and programming components, the KIBO kit also contains art platforms that can be used for children to personalize their projects with crafts materials and foster STEAM integration.
