KinderLab Robotics creates educational STEAM robotics that enable young children from PreK - 5th grade to learn critical technical, problem-solving, and cognitive skills in a developmentally appropriate and playful way. While STEM education products exist for middle- and high-school students, KinderLab uniquely fills a need for a critical population: children under the age of seven. KinderLab products are based on over 20+ years of academic and field research into how young children learn foundational concepts in programming and engineering by integrating them into a multidisciplinary curriculum that includes literacy, the expressive arts and cultural studies. KinderLab's KIBO screen-free robot kit is based on research by Dr. Marina Umaschi Bers, a pioneer who has led 20 years of NSF-supported academic research into how young children learn STEM. With KIBO, young children build, design, and program a robot by sequencing a set of wooden blocks. The robot itself was designed to encourage children to express themselves by decorating it with art materials.
