KaiBot
A fully – accessible robot, KaiBot uses tactile tiles and braille programming cards to teach foundational coding concepts to braille readers, through interactive, hands-on play. At the center of the experience is the charming KaiBot robot, which students program by scanning Braille cards in the correct sequence to navigate paths, mazes, and obstacle courses they create themselves with tiles. The color-coordinated cards are organized into intuitive coding groups such as control flow, numbers, variables, and execution, making foundational programming concepts easier to understand. The kit also includes a companion app and guided lessons from Kai’s Education to support structured, hands-on learning.
