KinderLab Robotics KIBO
KIBO is a physical robotics building set for education, with barcode blocks for assembling movement programs.
KIBO is a physical robotics building set for education, with barcode blocks for assembling movement programs. A school can organise construction and programming as successive activities. Ask learners to build an identifiable structure and then describe its intended movement. The teacher can limit available modules to those relevant to the lesson objective. Check kit contents before scheduling sensor assignments, because larger sets contain different extensions. Shared use benefits from a fixed component layout when rebuilding after lessons. Also assign responsibility for checking batteries and entering programs again, so each group can work from the same base configuration and document the change it makes to the physical robot.
