Robot Kits are Now Essential Tools for Child Development
Posted: Nov 17, 2017
Every parent knows that children are significantly more creative and open to using their imaginations and diverse learning methods than adults. This curiosity, however, must be nurtured and kids must feel empowered to try new things and even make mistakes—and learn from them. Young learners enjoy using their hands to construct and test moving objects and performing a variety of tasks with verbal commands but need tools to enable these experiences.
With this information in mind, it is easy to understand why many educators and early childhood development experts urge parents and schools to incorporate robotic toys into daily routines. Robots are a powerful way to help kids conceptualize the physical and computational worlds, as they encourage curiosity in the fundamentals of science and help develop essential cognitive skills.
The increasing popularity of robotics education has prompted educational institutions to coordinate robotics workshops to introduce students to basic robot programming. Teachers utilize a specially-designed syllabus and KIBO—both exclusively from KinderLab Robotics—to plant the seed which young learners need to expand their knowledge base and comfort level.
KIBO is a robot kit that offers 4- to 7-year-olds the opportunity to create, design, decorate and bring to life their very own robot. Using programming blocks, modules, extension sets and sensors, kids develop what they dream. The result is a personalized KIBO, which is programmed to perform specific tasks as instructed by its builder. Throughout this exploratory process, children’s cognitive and fine motor skills are further developed.
The long-term benefits of engaging young learners in STEM—science, technology, engineering and math—education is indisputable and receiving increased attention with the continual updating of learning standards and testing. KinderLab Robotics remains at the forefront by creating and distributing KIBO and other exciting products that make this specialized learning fun for children of all ages. KinderLab Robotics is proud of the contributions it makes through the development of classroom packages, teaching materials, wordbooks and assessments. The exploration of science from an entirely new viewpoint keeps kids interested, involved and vested and KinderLab Robotics is committed to the extraordinary future this makes possible.
