Cubelets - Modular Robotics
Cubelets are robot blocks that help teach important problem-solving skills – like collaboration, engineering, design, and computational thinking. Combine the 17 unique kinds of Cubelets in different ways to create countless robot constructions. Every design is a new robot construction and it all starts when you combine the three basic categories of Cubelets. Cubelets’ unique design makes robot-building simple. Their size and magnetic connections are perfect for users of all skill levels. No need to code unless you want to– the behavior emerges from your construction. If you can build with blocks you can build with Cubelets.
What You Will Need
Students can use Chromebooks to access the Cubelet app. Cubelet Console is a free web app to help you craft with code and do more with Cubelets robot blocks. There is also a Cubelets mobile app.
Our Mobile Makerspace kit comes with eight battery pack robot blocks and four cases filled with various robot blocks.
Resources and Curriculum Connections
