Growing with KIBO is the core grade 3-5 curriculum for KinderLab Robotics’ KIBO Robot Kit. It offers 60 hours of standards-aligned lessons and activities specifically designed for upper elementary grades. Exploring with KIBO allows older children to expand their computational thinking and computer science skills utilizing KIBO’s playful extension sets and engaging cross-curricular activities.
A particular focus of this guide was “Coding to Learn” for upper elementary students. Students come to the curriculum with a strong foundation in KIBO from prior work in PK-2, so this guide allowed students to use what they know about KIBO to explore other topics. Many activities dive into grade-level math, science, ELA, and social studies topics, and are aligned with NGSS, Common Core, and other cross-curricular standards.
I oversaw the creation of this curriculum during 2024 and 2025. Contributors included many KIBO-using educators and members of the Ambassador program. The guide was included in all “STEAM Explorer” KIBO classroom packages as of 2025.
