What is KIBO - The Screen-free STEAM Robot Kit for Young Learners?
KIBO, the robot for elementary learners, nurtures playful STEM learning through hands-on, screen-free exploration. With KIBO, kids, starting in PreK, can build, program, decorate, and tell stories through coding, building, and engineering!
For hands-on STEM in early childhood, focus on solutions proven by research into how young children learn. KIBO is based on 20+ years of child development research, that lets young learners build, program, decorate, and run their own robot. With the KIBO robot and its comprehensive, supporting curriculum, young students develop their computational thinking, STEAM learning, SEL, Computer Science skills, and more, in any environment:
• Classroom - from PreK-5th grade
• Special needs programs
• Enrichment, summer, and afterschool programs
• STEAM and Makerspace programs
With playful STEM, you can create early education classrooms we all dream of – classrooms bubbling with engaged students asking questions, kids learning from one another, and excitedly helping each other find answers!
KIBO is used in over 70 countries with proven efficacy in helping kids learn STEAM—and getting them excited about it! KinderLab offers a complete suite of curriculum to integrate STEAM elements into any subject. STEAM learning has never been so much fun!
Build. Art. Code. Play!

Educators and students would require a KIBO robot, which is the screen-free robot kit where elementary learners create, design, decorate and bring their own robot to life! KIBO is an easy and fun way to bring robotics and coding to your young learners and spark their interest in STEAM. KIBO starts the youngest children on a pathway of creative coding and robotics. They playfully discover STEAM concepts by coding with wooden building blocks, creating sequences, and learning design processes — all without requiring screen time. KIBO can be easily integrated into existing curriculum or classroom projects, such as literacy, social studies, science, math and art curricula. Over 160 hours of standards-aligned STEM curriculum and teaching materials are available, as well as training to ensure success when introducing KIBO in your classrooms.
