What is it?
Cubelets are pre-programmed robot blocks that can be connected to build different types of robots. While building with Cubelets, students learn the basics of robotics and coding through a tactile and visual process.

With the ability to code any Cubelet to do something new, students learn computational thinking and creative problem-solving skills, while educators are given the flexibility to teach computer science and coding concepts with or without student devices. The best part of building with Cubelets is that there’s no wrong way to combine them. This allows students to experiment as they build which puts a focus on curiosity, invention, and learning.
Stop and Go Lesson Plan
- Choose a few Cubelets and create a robot that drives.
- Select an additional Cubelet to add on that affects how you previous invention navigations. For example you can try adjusting the robots speed based on ambient light.
- Add an obstacle to the environment and see what happens when you Cubelet invention approaches it. Now modify your borot so that it stops moving before it hits the obstacle.
- Investigates what happens when your Cubelets invention goes near the edge of a table. Then, redesign your invention to detect the edge and stop itself before it falls.
