Growing with KIBO – A Progressive Robotics Curriculum

KIBO’s Core Curriculum, Growing with KIBO – A Robotics Curriculum for Pre-K to 2nd Grade, provides educators of young learners with 60 sequenced hours of standards-aligned lesson plans in robotics, coding, and computational thinking.

This guide was designed to support early elementary classrooms with a complete, sequenced STEAM curriculum, not only covering robotics, coding, and computational thinking, but also providing opportunities for integrating these topics with arts and literacy activities.

Each level of this curriculum — Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced — contains 20 hours of classroom lesson plans (for a total of 60 hours), providing a complete PreK–2 robotics progression aligned to current and evolving computer science standards. Contextualized STEAM projects and a focus on social-emotional development allow students to develop digital fluency, as they collaborate, connect, and express themselves creatively.
