Meet KIBO!

Robotics in the Library!

Thanks to Elisabeth Zimmer, the School Library Teacher at Schofield, who lent her seven KIBO robots to Sprague to tryout for three weeks during library classes.

Want to see KIBO in action and hear more about where they came from?  Here is a video all about them:  



KIBO robots are simple to assemble and program and we have been taking them for a test drive during during library time.  Students have a chance to build a program using KIBOs programming blocks which are then scanned into the robot.

Sometimes things don't work out the way you expect when you are using a KIBO.  It takes teamwork and problem solving skills to get your robot to do what you want.  Great life skills to learn while you are having such a good time.
