Cubelets Clever Constructors
This quintessential Cubelets collection has been modified and still supports up to six student groups. The Clever Constructors Pack helps educators facilitate easy adoption and high-ceiling academic activities. Programming challenges, Personality Swaps, and remote control races are a snap for each student group in your classroom.
Get to Know:
Cubelets robot blocks make it easy for builders of nearly any age to imagine, craft, and invent countless robot constructions. Cubelets are little blocks of software inside little blocks of hardware. Each Cubelet has a special function, so how you assemble your robot changes its behavior. Every combination is a new creation.
Cubelets helps make the principles of programming easy for students to learn and practice. Their special combination of software and hardware means that, as you build a robot, you build a program. It’s hands-on coding!
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 a physical action. Cubelets’ magnetic faces make them simple to snap together and pull apart. Connect at least one SENSE, THINK, and ACT Cubelet to create a robot construction.
The Cubelets app is your portal to the software blocks inside each Cubelet. The Remote Control allows students to manipulate individual Cubelets and change the behavior of an entire robot system. They can easily switch and swap the software blocks inside their Cubelets, use Personality Swap to change a Cubelet’s code with the touch of a button, switch a Drive Cubelet to spin backwards, or turn a Flashlight Cubelet into a disco-blinking wonder.
The Clever Constructors Pack is designed to support an entire class or multiple working groups. It enables basic robot building and enhanced learning and play with the Cubelets apps and students can explore coding principles with tactile coding as well as screen-free robot challenges of all difficulty ratings.
Educators can easily scale up these challenges for older and more experienced builders. Students can build with the high-level THINK Cubelets to develop computer science skills, analyze robot constructions, and visualize data flow with the Bar Graph.
Kit Components:
- 78 Cubelets: 12 Distance, 12 Drive, 6 Battery, 6 Brightness, 6 Flashlight, 6 Passive, 6 Rotate, 6 Inverse, 6 Threshold, 6 Knob, and 6 Bar Graph
- 12 Brick Adapters

Cubelets Print and Fold Activity Cards are an out-of-the-box classroom tool for teachers. These cards can be used by educators with students of any skill level. The cards are designed to be set out in small groups to guide learning in a student-driven learning center.
Cubelets:
- Battery - Provides the energy needed to power robot constructions
- Brightness - Enables a construction to detect and respond to light
- Drive - Build robot constructions that navigate their world
- Distance - Enables a construction to detect and respond to nearby objects
- Flashlight - Create constructions that shine a dimmable LED light
- Knob - Potentiometer outputs a 0 when turned fully counterclockwise, and a 1 when turned clockwise
- Bar Graph - Displays the block's value as a light-up bar graph
- Inverse - Flips the values it encounters
- Passive - Transmits power and data just like a wire, but doesn't do anything
- Threshold - It will output a value of zero until its inputs exceed the threshold set by the knob
Brick Adaptors - Add style and expand building capabilities with LEGO or other building brick systems
5-Port Charger - For easy charging of multiple Battery Cubelets
Cubelets Container- For durable storage and transport
