Thank you UBTECH for sponsoring this post. JIMU Robots are a fun way to bring robotics into kid’s day to day and make the perfect gift you can feel good about gifting to the children in your lives this holiday season!
I am always on the lookout for fun and educational STEM gifts for my kids that hold their interest day after day, week after week, month after month. When I was presented with the opportunity to partner with JIMU Robot I jumped at the chance! I’m glad that I did. My kids have thoroughly enjoyed building and playing with the robot. It’s a perfect way to teach coding for kids in such a fun way they don’t even realize how much they are learning!
Building the Robot
JIMU is a fun, exciting robot that kids 8+ can build, code, and play with. One of the things I have enjoyed the most about JIMU is that it is so user friendly and intuitive. My nine-year-old and seven-year-old assembled the robot and learned how to code with it with absolutely no guidance from me!
They spent a few hours following the easy instructions from the app to assemble the DozerBot first. It was such a sweet activity for them to work together on. They took turns being the Piece Finder and the Builder and worked so harmoniously and energetically to finish their robot!
The entire family joined in the fun. Even the three-year-old came over to see what she could do to “help”.
Coding for Kids
After building the robots, the playing continues with their free app!
The kids dove right in to see what they could program the robot to do. At first they just explored the different movements that are already programmed in.
It didn’t take the kids long to build a small obstacle course and string code together to make their DozerBot zip through it! They were so delighted.
I was so amazed watching how easily the kids came up with new ideas to try. The JIMU Robot really gives them the confidence to program long strings of code, to experiment with the limits of the robot, and to create new and interesting tasks for it to do!
JIMU Robots make the perfect gift for all kids this holiday season. Be sure to check out ‘em out at Target!

This seems really interesting for all kids to teach coding skills while playing with the robot. As kids engaged with apps & games for long hours, it’s a great idea to use this medium as a learning tool. In this digital age, it is so important to make kids aware of different programming skills at a early stage. Learning coding skills for kids not only improve their critical thinking abilities but boosts their confidence to a next level. We at TechyKids Canada aims to provide coding knowledge to kids through various programs & tech based courses. Thanks for sharing this!
This looks really amazing to teach coding for kids with the help of robots. As you said very correctly, it’s a perfect way to educate kids about coding which helps to cultivate interest among them for learning coding skills. With the help of robots we can teach the basic coding concepts to kids which not develops their logical thinking but also improve their problem solving abilities. TechyKids Canada provide various coding for kids courses & programs which prepare students for a better future. Thanks for sharing such an interesting way to make coding for kids a lot more fun & interactive.
