Age 4 and up. The Cubelets® Discovery Set is an excellent introduction to the fun, educational world of Cubelets® Robot Blocks; it includes 5 Cubelets® and the Bluetooth® Hat. Cubelets® combine software and hardware, enabling you to build robots with different behaviors to create a program. This effectively teaches programming principles with hands-on coding!

Age 4 and up. The Cubelets® Discovery Set is an excellent introduction to the fun, educational world of Cubelets® Robot Blocks; it includes 5 Cubelets® and the Bluetooth® Hat. Cubelets® combine software and hardware, enabling you to build robots with different behaviors to create a program. This effectively teaches programming principles with hands-on coding!

Each Cubelet has a distinct function and is categorized as one of 3 types:

• Sense Cubelets® acquire data (information) from the robot's environment
• Think Cubelets® compute and change that information
• Act Cubelets® translate that information into physical action

The magnetic faces of Cubelets® easily snap together and pull apart. Connect at least 2 Sense, Think, and Act Cubelets® to create a robot construction. The included yellow brick adapters connect Cubelets® to LEGO® and other brick building-block toys for more fun.

The Cubelets® app enables you to modify software blocks inside each Cubelet. The Remote Control feature allows users to manipulate individual Cubelets® or change the behavior of an entire robot construction.

Set includes:

• Battery Cubelet: Provides energy required to power robot constructions.
• Brightness Cubelet: Enables a construction to detect and respond to light.
• Drive Cubelet: Enables a construction to navigate its world.
• Distance Cubelet: Enables robotic construction to detect and respond to nearby objects.
• Flashlight Cubelet: Creates constructions that shine a dimmable LED light.
• Bluetooth® Hat: Pairs robot constructions with mobile devices. A simple, proximity-based pairing makes connecting easy. Cap your creations with the Bluetooth® Hat, adding new abilities with the free Cubelets® app.
• Brick Adapters: Add style and expand building capabilities with LEGO® or other brick building-block toys (LEGO® bricks not included).
• Micro-USB Charging Cable: Charges your Cubelets®.
• Discovery Guide: The guide is printed; a Parents' Play Guide is available for download.
• Remote Control App: Pair robot constructions with free companion apps to change behavior.

Programming options are available, including Blockly, a block-based (drag and drop) programming language from Google®, and Flash (C based) for higher grades (see the Resources tab).
