We are definitely showing lots of gratitude towards the children who are showing curiosity with KIBO. With us doing that, it shows that more children want to know more about [KIBO] because they see how excited and thankful we are for that.<\/p>\n\u2014 Alesandra, Pre-K Teacher<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The kids are really expanding and they’re
growing, learning, and doing more. They’re very thankful each time KIBO comes out
and they’re able to use it, explore with it, see what it does, and they’re so happy and so grateful. They always say ‘thank you’ and ‘bye KIBO!’ when I have to put it away.<\/p>\n\u2014 Ingrid, Pre-K Teacher<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
