Compare KIBO - The Screen-free STEAM Robot Kit for Young Learners vs SchooliP

1 hour per week

Educators and students would require a KIBO robot, which is the screen-free robot kit where elementary learners create, design, decorate and bring their own robot to life! KIBO is an easy and fun way to bring robotics and coding to your young learners and spark their interest in STEAM. KIBO starts the youngest children on a pathway of creative coding and robotics. They playfully discover STEAM concepts by coding with wooden building blocks, creating sequences, and learning design processes — all without requiring screen time. KIBO can be easily integrated into existing curriculum or classroom projects, such as literacy, social studies, science, math and art curricula. Over 160 hours of standards-aligned STEM curriculum and teaching materials are available, as well as training to ensure success when introducing KIBO in your classrooms.

SchooliP supports single sign-on and incorporates integration with all the major School Management Information Systems (MIS) including Capita SIMS, Arbor, iSAMS, WCBS, ScholarPack and many more . SchooliP is cloud based and may be accessed through any browser.

At SchooliP, we don’t wait to get started. As soon as your school signs up, our team begins configuring your system, even before your first meeting.

Using your school’s branding (including colours and logo, typically taken from your website), we pre-install a customised version of SchooliP that’s already aligned with your identity. By the time we meet for your initial one-hour setup session, your system is already branded, structured, and ready to go.

During the session, we:

• Tailor key elements to your processes (e.g. lesson observation forms, QA templates)

• Schedule your key cycles, check-in points, and calendar dates

• Align the platform with your strategic goals and desired outcomes

Most schools are fully operational the same day. After this, we continue working with you based on your preferred pace, whether rolling out all features at once or focusing on individual areas in stages.
