Meet Subby

"Subby helps us organize our big ideas!"

A cute, round robot with an antenna and a screen on its tummy showing a heart.

About this page

Meet the squad's friendly helper. This round little robot with a heart on its tummy screen represents something modern kids will grow up alongside, technology that supports our thinking without replacing it. Notice the story's careful wording, Subby helps us organize our big ideas. The ideas still belong to the child. That is a healthy first lesson about tools and helpers of every kind, and it is exactly the conversation we explore in Subby the Robot and introducing AI to kids. While coloring, children can decide what color a kind, helpful robot should be, which is a delightful question all by itself.

Talk about it while you color
