    KUBO is the world’s first puzzle-based educational robot, designed to take students from passive consumers of technology to empowered creators. By simplifying complex concepts through hands-on experiences, KUBO teaches children to code even before they can read and write. KUBO and the unique TagTile programming language lay the ®...

  • Page 4 ® In your Coding Pack you will see: Movement TagTiles These tiles are used to control forward, left and right movements, creating routes for KUBO to follow. There are 14 forward, 6 right and 6 left Movement tiles. Movement TagTiles...

  • Page 6 Your Coding Pack covers five coding concepts: 1. Routes 2. Functions 3. Subroutines 4. Recursive Functions 5. Loops KUBO starts at the simplest level, by teaching students to create a code that controls basic movements: Go Forward, Go Left and Go Right.
  • Page 7 1. Movement Use the Movement TagTiles to lay ® down a route for KUBO to follow on the activity map. Place KUBO on the first TagTile. Make sure you align KUBO’s wheels accurately to keep the robot on track. Watch KUBO move.
  • Page 8 These tiles can also be used to create Recursive Functions and Subroutines. Save a sequence by encasing Movement tiles within two Record Function tiles. Now place KUBO on a Play Function TagTile to execute the commands. NOTE: Movement tiles should now be laid out in a straight line.
  • Page 9 A Subroutine is a sequence of code within a sequence of code. Subroutines are used to make code shorter and easier to manage. First, place a sequence between two Record Function TagTiles ® and have KUBO save the sequence. Then, place the Play Function TagTile within another Function and save the new sequence.
  • Page 10 Function you want KUBO to execute. Have KUBO record the sequence. Remove the Play Function from the Function and place KUBO on it. Watch, as KUBO executes the sequence continuously. To stop KUBO, separate the head from the body.
  • Page 11 In coding, Loops are used to repeat sequences a preset number of times. To make KUBO repeat a sequence more than once, enclose the commands within two Loop TagTiles and slot a parameter of one to 10 in the space provided.
  • Page 12 Beyond Coding KUBO is designed so that students not only get to grips with coding and computational literacy; they also develop other important skills that prepare them for the future. The Coding License, available at KUBO.education, covers many STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) curriculum targets. It also...
