In this blog, Jason Innes, our Director of Curriculum, Training, and Product Management, weighs in on the current state of STEM education and insights for K-12 schools. "STEM is about giving all students the tools to think critically, solve problems creatively, and collaborate effectively—skills that will serve them well in any career they choose to pursue. https://lnkd.in/eDqUTm6Y

Meet KIBO-The playful, creative screen-free STEAM coding robot where kids create, design, decorate and bring it to life!
关于我们
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.

In our latest blog, we share 5 simple, playful ways you can bring robotics, coding, and STEM to your elementary students. STEM robotics provides an engaging platform that challenges young learners to think critically and solve problems. Through robotics, such as the #KIBOrobot, children engage in planning, designing, and engineering, helping them build essential skills like critical thinking, computational thinking, brainstorming, andcollaboration. By bringing robotics and STEM to students early, they develop these essentials skillsets from their formative years and into adulthood. And the best part? They have fun while doing it!

Our director of curriulum, training and product management, Jason Innes, was included in a panel to discuss K12 STEM priorities. When answering "What STEM skills gaps are most evident between what is needed in today’s workforce and what is being taught in schools?", he replied: "STEM is more than just science, technology, engineering and math. STEM is a set of practices for learning and problem-solving. Technical knowledge is important, but so are curiosity, creativity, persistence, and collaboration. These social skills and executive functioning capabilities are the aspects of STEM most necessary in the workforce. When I talk about starting STEM education early, it’s about teaching kids how to ask questions, propose solutions, test and improve their creations, and share their work."

Christina Bennett MacCaughey was one of my last interviews at #FETC. She is the Director of Marketing with KinderLab Robotics, Inc. Every child (and probably some grown ups) will want these toys. So much fun because they are #robots that help children #build, #code, #create, and #explore using #steam robotics. Also called KIBO it provides hours of imaginative, playful social learning experiences. The CEO and co-founder is Mitch Rosenberg
