KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR) is the leading provider of programming based educational robotics programs. We create most of our products in-house, and we are located in Norman, Oklahoma. Over 320 teams of middle and high school students, and their teachers, participated in our Botball® Educational Robotics Program in 2014, including teams from Qatar, China, Austria, Poland, and Zimbabwe. Over 1,000 individuals participated in our hands-on Botball® robotics workshops that took place in 13 regions across the country. We are a national organization with a small cheerful staff, great volunteers, and generous sponsors. Our KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR) / Botball® family is well known and organized across the world. KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR) was incorporated as a 501(c) 3 organization in 1994 to make the long-term educational benefits of robotics accessible to students. Our name is the well-known acronym (Keep It Simple, Stupid), and students tell us that this motto has been quite useful in designing their robots.
