Modular Robotics Cubelets Intrepid Inventors Pack

Description

Foster vital thinking skills with fascinating and fun Cubelets that nurture students' imagination, creativity, and inventive spirit while introducing them to robotics, STEM, and computational thinking. The Intrepid Inventors pack supports six or twelve working groups for the ultimate flexibility. Inside each Cubelet is part of a program. As you build the robot, you build the code that controls the robot's behavior. 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. Magnetic faces make the Cubelets easy to snap together and pull apart. Yellow brick adapters can connect to LEGO or other brick building blocks.

Learning at Every Age
Age 4+: basic robotics, cause and effect, gross motor skills, speaking and questioning, sorting, sequencing.
