What is KUBO Coding?

KUBO is an educational hands-on and digital coding solution providing everything you need to get to grips with coding and computational thinking designed specifically for kids aged 4 to 10+.

Students are taught how to code through KUBOs unique TagTile® programming language making KUBO the only puzzle-like coding concept in the world – Literally making coding as easy as snapping together the pieces of a puzzle in order to create a sequence of code.

Recommended Usage

KUBO curriculum can be easily embedded into weekly teaching programs, so that coding literacy becomes as natural as learning ABC.

Requirements

Teachers need no previous experience of coding and there is no need for computers or software installation. This is a table top, out-of-the-box, screen-free solution that can be up and running in minutes. There are short video tutorials online, introducing the basic KUBO coding principles of the puzzle-like TagTiles(R). There are also simple quick start guides that are printable, and full lesson plans at www.kubo.education. The materials introduce programming routes, functions, subroutines and loops and challenges range from very simple to advanced, for students across KS1 and KS2.

Training

We estimate that teachers new to coding and KUBO can be up and running within 40 minutes. They can work their way through the online video tutorials and download a quick start guide pdf, which is enough to get started. For more detailed information and classroom tips, they should review the online lesson plans. Called "The Coding License", these include comprehensive Teachers Guides, with extension activities and assessment tasks. They also identify the Computer Science curriculum targets covered by lessons.
