Used KUBO Coding for 4-6 months

Apr 2021

If a colleague would look for a simple, straight forward way of introducing coding to young children I would definately recommend KUBO. I also like that there is a digital solution but it can also be used completly without any devices, hands-on and coding with tiles. So kids can experience coding without extra screen time.

Theresa found KUBO Coding:
  • Significantly improves attainment
    Used it with unversity students as an example for digital, creative learning while students are not at school. It was a positive example how problem solving can still be thaught from afar - although a mixture of hands-on and homelearning were the prefered option.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    A very good and simple introduction to coding.
  • Moderately increases student collaboration
    Yes, if students work together, but can also be used alone.
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    After an initial explaination, KUBO can be used by the children themselves. Trial and fail can be used.
  • Slightly improves teacher knowledge and skills
    KUBO has a lot of info for teachers and the KUBO academy - so there is loads to learn about how to teach coding but also how to cross curricular teach coding. But I don't think a teacher would learn a lot about coding themselves here - as said, it is a first coding experience, which will be quickly understood by the teacher.
