A number of children tried out Kbot's Korean robotics technologies for early childhood education at the vacation course in partnership with FIEP, Toy Engineering

Robotics courses for children have become a pivotal tool for cognitive and technological development, employing Korean robots like Genibot as examples. Genibot provides an accessible and interactive introduction to programming and robotics for kids, utilizing languages such as Scratch 3.0 and Python. This robot is designed for both unplugged use and via an app, broadening its application in educational environments​ (Robotic Gizmos)​.

Genibot not only facilitates learning basic coding concepts but also includes interactive modes such as line tracking and music playback, making the learning process fun and engaging for children. Furthermore, educational materials like the book "Early Childhood Education with Genibot - Part I" by Anna Świć, are specifically developed to integrate the robot into educational settings, assisting teachers in fostering critical STEM skills from an early age​ (Botland Store)​​ (Botland Store)​. These technologies not only enrich the educational experience but also prepare children for future careers in tech fields, cultivating essential skills in an increasingly digital world. Additionally, Genibot's application in educational settings extends beyond individual use to collaborative efforts, such as the partnership with FIEP Paraná in Brazil. Together, they are fostering the next generation of engineers through the "Toy Engineering" holiday course, aimed at creating "mini engineers." This initiative leverages the interactive capabilities of Genibot to teach children the fundamentals of engineering and technology in an engaging and practical way, further illustrating the robot's role in enhancing STEM education globally.

 

The GeniRobot website provides information on their GENIBOT product, emphasizing its role in teaching kids coding, AI, and STEAM subjects in a fun way. The platform offers a cloud-based LIMS for remote control of GENIBOT, and various educational paths from unplugged coding using physical cards to more advanced programming with Scratch 3.0 and Python. The site also lists educational accessories and software support for different devices. For more details, you can explore their offerings directly on the GeniRobot website.
