Some of the things we’re looking for in a prospective ambassador include:

  • Experience with KIBO, whether teaching, coaching, implementing (as an administrator), or developing curriculum. This experience might be in a school setting, in a university, or in an informal education setting (museum, afterschool, makerspace, etc.). What’s important is that you’ve had real-world hands-on KIBO experience with learners.
  • A track record of presentations at education conferences, professional development workshops, and the like.
  • A strong social media presence and following.
  • A love of KIBO!

Spaces in the program are limited. A KIBO Ambassadorship lasts for one year, after which you can reapply to continue.

Note: Being a KIBO ambassador is an unpaid, voluntary role. We appreciate the work of our ambassadors and we’re excited to support your efforts in turn, but as an ambassador you are not considered an employee or agent of KinderLab Robotics, Inc.

We celebrate our current KIBO Ambassadors and look forward to welcoming more:
