Hour of Code: KIBO Singer

In this lesson, students dress up their KIBO robot and teach KIBO to sing a favorite song! With KIBO’s Sound Record/Playback Module, children record their own voice singing their favorite song, then use their sequencing skills to program KIBO to play back their song! (Note: This lesson is meant for children with prior KIBO experience.)

Let’s become a programmer and musician!

Kids decorate their own KIBO Singer with arts and crafts, record their voice with the Sound Record/Playback Module, and then code a sequence for the performance!
