Exploring Robotics Curriculum for Cubelets(for Grades K-5)Use Cubelets to present STEM concepts in your classroom. |
|||||||||||||||||
Students can build robots that drive around on a tabletop, respond to light and other objects, move, detect change in temperature, make chirp sounds, and have surprisingly lifelike behavior. No programming required. Instead of programming behavior, students snap the Cubelets together and watch the behavior emerge like with a flock of birds or a swarm of bees. They are controlled with simple actions such as hand motions or blowing on the temperature cubelet. Cubelets are small blocks that can be snapped together to make an endless variety of robots with no programming, no small parts to track, and no wires. |

Section 3: Cubelets Engineering and Robotics Lessons for 4th thru 8th Grade (ages 9-11)This unit is designed to explore engineering and design principles, innovation and making as a way to solve problems, and to practice designing robotic solutions with Cubelets. Each lesson focuses on different aspects of engineering’s unique problem-solving strategies, and throughout the whole unit students learn, “Engineers are a kind of scientist that use their skills and creativity to solve problems or change a situation by designing or making something innovative."

Cubelets Engineering Design LessonsEngineers work in lots of fields and follow a similar process and ask the same questions:
Lesson 1 – Introduction to Engineering. Lesson 2 – How does it work? Lesson 3 – Reverse Engineering Lesson 4 – Criteria and Constraints Lesson 5 – Design Thinking Lesson 6 – Data Collection and Recording Related: |
