KinderLab Robotics designs and develops high-quality robot kits for kids. The company’s main product, the KIBO, gives children aged 4-7 a fun, engaging way to learn about programming and other scientific topics. KinderLab also offers educators a set of curriculum materials to help them touch on literacy, community and other subjects through robotics.
The KIBO robot kit draws from over 20 years of research in the field of youth development. KinderLab Robotics’ co-founder, Dr. Marina UmaschiBers, heads the DevTech research group at Tufts University. The group’s efforts focus onthe positive impact that new technology such as educational robots and child-friendly apps can have upon how kids learn and grow.
KinderLab Robotics currently offers four KIBO kits. Two of these kits, KIBO 18 and KIBO 21, are available as Classroom Packages, which come with curriculum materials aligned with Common Core math and literacy frameworks. Teachers can also choose from a variety of accessories, which include:
· Building Brick Extension Sets: These come with four building brick bases, which students can use to add more to the bodies of their robots.
· Lightbulb Module: This module enables the KIBO to light up in three colors.
· Sound Record/Playback Module: Kids can use this module to make the KIBO talk or play music. It includes three Playback programming blocks.
Through its carefully developed robot toys for young children, Kinderlab Robotics works to make learning both more fun and more effective. The company’s products help children develop the skills which they will need to become engineers, artists, choreographers and more.
