Building blocks for better thinking. Foster vital thinking skills in your classroom, makerspace, library, or museum. Fascinating and fun, Cubelets nurture your student’s imagination, creativity, and inventive spirit. Cubelets are the building blocks of better thinkers. Access loads of free education resources. Every Cubelets set and pack includes access to free standards-aligned lesson plans, printable activity cards, online professional development, and more. Be sure to check out the Cubelets Education Resources to learn more. Education Resources Get going fast with a printed lesson bundle. Get everything you need to start with teaching Cubelets in a handy printed reference book. Each bundle includes: A grade-banded lesson book with 13 standards-aligned lesson plans. Cubelets Activity cards for working with small groups. Cubelets magnets for modeling and diagramming. Student flashlights for helping with brightness investigations. An anchoring chart. Just like building blocks only smarter. Cubelets make the principles of programming easy to learn and practice. Inside of each block is a part of a program – as you build your robot you build the code that controls its behavior. It’s hands-on coding! SENSE, THINK, ACT. Each Cubelet has a special function and belongs to one of three categories: SENSE Cubelets take in information from the robot’s environment. THINK Cubelets compute and change that information, and ACT Cubelets turn that information into physical action. Connect at least one SENSE, THINK, and ACT Cubelet to create a robot construction. Connect to construct. Cubelets’ magnetic faces make them simple to snap together and pull apart. Each Cubelet has a special function. What you connect, and how you connect them changes the behavior of your robot constructions. Every combination is a new creation.   Pair blocks with bricks. The yellow Brick Adapters connect to LEGO® and other brick building- block toys. Discovery Set includes one “studs” and one “sockets” adapter so you can build in any direction. *LEGO does not support nor endorse this product. Pair blocks with apps. The Bluetooth® Hat pairs robot constructions with free Cubelets apps. The simple, proximity-based pairing makes connecting easy. Cap your creations with the Bluetooth Hat to add new abilities, read robot data values, and code new behaviors in Blockly or C. Cubelets Creative Constructors Pack includes. Brightness Cubelet (x4) Enable a construction to detect and respond to light. Distance Cubelet (x8) Enable a construction to detect and respond to nearby objects. Knob Cubelet (x4) Build robot constructions with precise data value control. Battery Cubelet (x4) Provide the energy needed to power robot constructions. Inverse Cubelet (x4) Flip data values, making low values high and vice versa. Passive Cubelet (x4) Build bigger robots, without modifying data values. Threshold Cubelet (x4) Block data values below the selected threshold. Bar Graph Cubelet (x4) Display block values on a 0–10 scale. Great for debugging.
