See how KUBO works
A quick, hands-on walkthrough: drive a route, then meet Functions, the first taste of reusable code. No screen and no typing: the TagTiles are the program.
Which best describes you?
An educational robot, far more than forward and back.
The TagTile® language is the programming language: physical, puzzle-like tiles students assemble like code. Unlike simple floor robots, KUBO teaches a real progression of computer-science concepts:
- Routes
- Functions
- Loops
- Subroutines
- Variables
- Conditions
- Events
… and beyond
- Math
- Music
- Cross-curricular
From the box to the first program
Three steps, no screens
Everything a class needs is in the Starter Set. This is what a first lesson looks like.
-
1Unbox
Robot, activity map and 46 TagTiles®, ready to use the day the box arrives. No app to launch, nothing to log into.
-
2Build the route
Students snap TagTiles together like a puzzle. Each tile is one command, so the route is the program.
-
3Run it
Place KUBO at the start. It reads every tile as it drives, with light and sound feedback along the way.
Why teachers choose KUBO
Rich, hands-on coding
The TagTile® language teaches real CS concepts: completely screen-free, before students can even read or write.
Effortless for teachers
No coding experience needed: ready-to-teach lessons, free onboarding and teacher training are included.
Standards-aligned
Aligned with ISTE & CSTA (plus NGSS, Common Core and TEKS for US schools) and cross-curricular into math, music and stories.
Inclusive by design
No reading required and nothing to log into, so pre-readers, tactile learners and multilingual classrooms all take part.
Grows with the learner
A clear path: Starter → Coding+ → Coding++ → Math & Music, and Hands-on → Blended Learning.
Low-risk to adopt
Free curriculum on KUBO Portal, free onboarding and teacher training, plus a free 30-day KUBO Play trial.
In teachers' own words
Kroggårdsskolen Denmark
“KUBO is very intuitive. Students can just get started and it is easy to transfer the basics they learn to more formal coding languages later. I do not have to give complex instructions because, with KUBO, kids can figure things out for themselves! It is fantastic when kids can learn through play and find out that coding, which they have heard their parents say is so hard, is actually a piece of cake for them! It is great!”
Rikke Lohman Elementary teacher, Kroggårdsskolen -
“When I saw KUBO I thought it would be easy to use, but I didn't think it would be soooo easy to use! I was up and going the day the boxes arrived. No lengthy training or tutorial needed. We got to the cool stuff right away!”
Dana Cochrane Elementary teacher Stilwell Grade School, United States
-
“One of the things we like about KUBO is that it's not only teaching coding at its most basic level to our youngest children. It can also be integrated into our math and story lessons.”
Roy Coleman Headteacher Nightingale Primary School, United Kingdom
