Robots for kids
Kids get into robotics by making a robot in three steps: design it on paper, build it from cardboard and things at home, then program it to move and decide. Kubrio's courses guide each step, and in Robotics Studio your kid programs their own robot with blocks and gives it jobs to do.
Your kid designs it, builds it, and teaches it new moves.

Why it matters
Robots join three things kids rarely see together: drawing, building, and code. A robot that grabs a cup or follows a line shows a kid that an idea on paper can work in the real world.
Every robot breaks at some point. Fixing it, one change at a time, is the habit engineers use every day.

Questions parents ask
- What age is robotics for?
- Kids 6 to 13. Six-year-olds can design a robot on paper and build it from a box. Kids 9 to 13 can program a robot with loops and if statements.
- Do we need a robot kit?
- Not to start. The first courses use cardboard, tape, and things at home. In Robotics Studio, your kid programs a robot on screen with blocks.
- Is this coding?
- Yes, in blocks. Loops and if statements come in the robot courses, with a robot that moves when the code is right.
