Reviewed Parenting: 12 incredible STEM toys that every child will want. Fun (and learning) for kids of all ages!
See the recent review of KIBO (#5 in the list) to read what the reviewer throught of KIBO.
“Our experience: Mitch Roseberg, Co-founder of KinderLab Robotics (the makers of KIBO), told me that the motivation behind creating KIBO was to encourage all kids to become STEM-literate by making robotics and programming universally accessible and fun: “KIBO is the only robot kit on the market that enables young kids to build, code, decorate, and run a robot—with no screens, keyboards, or help from adults.” With its simple materials, straightforward coding process, and emphasis on imagination and art, KIBO is meant to appeal to all kids, including those that identify as “STEM-oriented”, and those that do not.
