AsiaTechDaily – Asia's Leading Tech and Startup Media Platform
The world is changing at such a fast pace that many high paying jobs that exist today were not even there five years ago- and it is hard to say what type of jobs will be available five years down the line. The reason for the big change? Technology. In this ever-growing world of technology, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have become the frontrunners, and it has become imperative that our kids learn about these concepts now. This will help them to be prepared for a job market that is dominated by computer science and data science. The leading-edge solution to it is to learn-CODING. However, you may wonder that coding seems like an impossible endeavour for kids. It’s like learning a new language altogether. Thus, envisioning your child with the ability to build, say, an app looks like a difficult task. Seoul-based AI and Robotics Company Cubroid AI coding blocks and robots have made the concept of learning coding safe and easy.
Cubroid designs and manufactures coding blocks and AI robots for children believes that coding is an essential skill that needs to be developed in the growing years of a child. The company’s products are designed specially to introduce children from the age of 5 years and above to the concept of coding, artificial intelligence, and engineering.
The company has made coding easily accessible for children by developing easy-to-use and straightforward coding platforms and apps for tablets, smartphones, and PCs. The Cubroid blocks aim to provide simple robotics and computing education through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). Children can enjoy assembling, coding, and playing with robots while using Cubroid products.
As of 2020, Cubroid has already made its presence in more than 46 countries and over 10000 schools. The company aims to lead the growth of STEAM education across all homes and educational institutions around the globe.
The use of wireless and dynamic connector blocks along with simple coding platforms, Cubroid offers a fun and educational experience for children so that they can express themselves creatively. The STEAM education with Cubroid can help children improve their knowledge in science, enhance their creativity in problem-solving, and also develop collaboration skills.
The Cubroid coding blocks are a perfect way to introduce children to the world of programming- all from the comfort of their home. This collection of innovative coding blocks are not only compatible with LEGO but also teach children the basics of programming through the Scratch Application.
This set of coding blocks comes without any connecting pins or visible lines, and that is what makes Cubroid stand out from the plethora of smart toy coding blocks that are available these days. The Cubroid blocks have been designed for easy and safe assembly. It comes completely equipped with sensor and actuators blocks that can be seamlessly connected to external connectors.
The Cubroid blocks have a built-in Bluetooth technology, and children can put together robot creation in their imaginative way, especially if they love playing with LEGO’s. The robot can be controlled with smart devices, and since they are compatible with LEGO, children can innovate and learn without any restrictions.
Another marvel offering from Cubroid is a codable AI robot- ARTIBO. It is an AI-robot that introduces children to STEAM/STEM education concepts. ARTIBO captures digital images and has a camera, microphone, and also facilitates face and voice recognition. It is more than a toy robot; it is an incredibly smart AI-based robot that can be an ideal companion of your child and help them in learning to code. The robot looks cute and is funny and chirpy too. Most importantly, ARTIBO does perfectly whatever your child can imagine. All that your child needs to do is to give instruction.
The smart coding blocks provides a creative framework where children can learn about the relationship between hardware and software. It also helps in the development of problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and creative skills through the STEAM module. With a variety of coding platforms for smart devices and the use of Python and Scratch programming, which are the most used programming languages in the world, Cubroid helps in increasing education scalability.
The Scratch programming offers simplified computational coding, and ARTIBO’s block has similar features like Scratch. With intuitive and easy to code option using a drag-and-drop system, Artibo is very interesting. For youngsters who want to learn advanced programming skills can use the Python coding language.
ARTIBO helps children in becoming future-ready since developing coding skills in this 21st century has become a must. Learning how to code a robot is not only exciting and something new for children but it also helps them in developing cognitive skills like problem-solving and critical thinking while carrying out a specific task which is even better.
The STEAM system of ARTIBO fuels imagination and creativity among children. ARTIBO can immediately grab your child’s attention and is a great option for kids from the age of 10 years or above who want to learn to code early. The robot is small enough to fit into a pocket and has a camera for eyes, microphone for ears, and speakers for the mouth.
ARTIBO functions are based on the coding done by the child. It offers simple applications like playing music or reading a fairy tale to translating words into other languages. The robot can express its various moods by playing different sounds and music. A child can talk to ARTIBO about what he/she thinks and can give basic instructions like- go straight, turn right or left, move backward etc. The robot comes with limitless possibilities from identifying images to detecting and comparing faces to recognizing celebrities and much more.
With a simple platform to learn coding, compact design, and a variety of features and accessories, Cubroid’s ARTIBO is undoubtedly going to make you and your child happy.
