Age 4 and up. Inspired by the needs of pre-K and kindergarten students, the Mini Makers Pack is the perfect way to jumpstart the learning environment. The pack supports 6 groups and contains 54 Sense, Think, and Act Cubelets®, brick adapters, storage containers, charging cables, and a 5-port USB charger. Lesson plans for K-12 are freely available at www.modrobotics.com and include topics such as teamwork, robotics, sensing, data collection, engineering design, and animal behavior.

Pack includes:

• Drive Cubelet: Contains a motor and roller wheels for moving on a horizontal surface. It only moves in 1 direction and moves faster with higher input values.
• Rotate Cubelet: Spins at a rate corresponding to its input values.
• Flashlight Cubelet: Emits a focused beam of light from a powerful white LED. Light becomes brighter with higher input values.
• Knob Cubelet: Has a potentiometer (a knob that provides a variable resistance) embedded in 1 of its faces. Output increases as the knob is turned clockwise.
• Brightness Cubelet: Detects the amount of light hitting its sensor. It has an analog photocell that responds to varying light conditions (values are near 1 in front of a bright light).
• Distance Cubelet: Detects how far it is from an object. It uses infrared light and is accurate between 10 and 80 cm. The sensor is directional, so it outputs the distance to the object in front of the sensor.
• Battery Cubelet: Provides the energy required to make robots spin, drive, and squawk. It charges with a micro-USB.
• Passive Cubelet: A basic building block that carries power and data from its neighbors. It does not move, sense, or change incoming data in any way.
• Bluetooth® Hat: Use this piece and the Cubelets® companion app to quickly pair your robot construction with any Bluetooth®-enabled wireless device and remotely control the robot.
• Brick Adapter: Connects Cubelets® to LEGO® bricks (LEGO® bricks not included).
• Micro-USB Charging Cable: Charge your Cubelets®.
• 5-Port USB Charger: Charge up to 5 Battery Cubelets® at the same time (110 V, US plug). Compact and portable for home or classroom use.
• Storage Tubs.

These Cubelets® run on Cubelets® OS 4.
