Overview
What is the CUBELETS Computational Thinking Expansion Pack?
The CUBELETS Computational Thinking Expansion Pack from Modular Robotics is a curriculum-focused add-on for classrooms, camps, and clubs that already run Cubelets. Rather than coding on a screen, students snap magnetic robot blocks together and watch behavior emerge from how the pieces connect. The pack layers a structured Computational Thinking unit on top of your existing hardware, walking learners through pre-programming concepts such as values, inputs and outputs, conditionals, events, and sequences — the building blocks of algorithmic reasoning, decomposition, pattern recognition, and abstraction.
Each Cubelet is its own tiny robot with a computer inside; SENSE blocks read the environment, THINK blocks process information, and ACT blocks turn it into motion, light, or sound. Combine them and the robot's behavior is the sum of how the blocks talk to their neighbors. That tangible, wires-and-syntax-free model makes abstract programming ideas concrete for hands as young as Pre-K while still scaling to high-school activities. The expansion adds robot blocks, brick adapters, storage, and a 5-port battery charger to extend an existing collection, plus the lesson library that drives the unit.
RobotLAB resells the Computational Thinking Expansion Pack at $235 and supports schools and programs nationwide with sourcing, deployment guidance, and educator onboarding. Note that this is an expansion, not a standalone classroom set — it is designed for a class, camp, or club that already owns Cubelets Six kits, Cubelets Twenty kits, or an Educator Pack. If you are starting from zero, RobotLAB can pair this curriculum pack with a base kit so you have both the hardware and the lessons in one order.

How it works
CUBELETS Computational Thinking Expansion Pack in detail
K-12 computer science and STEM classrooms
The pack ships standards-aligned lesson plans spanning the full school range — 7 lessons for Pre-K and Kindergarten, 10 for Grades 1-3, 15 for Grades 4-6, and 10 for Grades 7-12. Teachers can run a complete computational-thinking unit on inputs/outputs, conditionals, events, and sequences without any prior coding experience, making it a practical on-ramp to CS for elementary and middle-school programs that already have Cubelets on the shelf.
Makerspaces, libraries, and museums
Drop-in, screen-free, and instantly collaborative, Cubelets suit informal learning spaces where visitors of mixed ages and abilities need to build something that works in minutes. The Computational Thinking unit gives facilitators a guided activity track for patrons who want more than free play, while the brick adapters let constructions integrate with LEGO-compatible bricks for open-ended making.
Summer camps and after-school coding clubs
Because there is no software to install or accounts to manage, the pack is well suited to camps and clubs that rotate students and need fast setup and teardown. The 5-port battery charger and included storage keep a roster of robots ready between sessions, and the high-ceiling Grades 7-12 lessons keep returning or advanced learners challenged.

Questions & answers
About the CUBELETS Computational Thinking Expansion Pack.
-
Do I need anything else to use the Computational Thinking Expansion Pack?
Yes. This is an expansion, not a standalone set. It is built for a class, camp, or club that already owns Cubelets — specifically Cubelets Six kits, Cubelets Twenty kits, or an Educator Pack. If you are starting fresh, call 1-87-RobotLAB and we will pair this curriculum pack with a base kit so you receive both the robots and the lessons together.
-
What ages and grades is it for?
Modular Robotics designs Cubelets for ages 7 and up, with this pack centered on Grades 2-8. The included lesson library actually spans Pre-K through Grade 12, with differentiated plans by band, so the same hardware supports younger learners with simpler activities and older students with high-ceiling challenges.
-
Does it require coding or special software?
No. Cubelets are screen-free. Students snap magnetic SENSE, THINK, and ACT blocks together and the robot's behavior emerges from how the pieces connect — there is nothing to install and no syntax to learn. The Computational Thinking unit teaches the concepts behind programming (conditionals, events, sequences) through that hands-on, no-code model.
-
Exactly which and how many Cubelets blocks come in this pack?
The pack includes Cubelets robot blocks, brick adapters, storage, and a 5-port battery charger, but Modular Robotics does not publish an exact per-block count for this expansion on the product listings we reviewed. For a confirmed bill of materials before you order, contact for details at 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
How is this different from the Engineering or Life Science Expansion Packs?
All three are same-size Cubelets add-ons for existing kits and share the Pre-K-12 lesson structure; they differ by curriculum theme. This one targets computational thinking (pre-programming logic), the Engineering pack targets design thinking and prototyping, and the Life Science pack targets scientific observation and adaptations. Many schools buy more than one to rotate units. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to bundle.
-
Can RobotLAB help with deployment and educator training?
Yes. As a nationwide commercial robotics integrator, RobotLAB sells, deploys, and supports Cubelets and can advise on pairing the right base kits, getting teachers comfortable with the lessons, and standing up a program across multiple classrooms or sites. Reach our team at 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
Is leasing or RaaS available, or only outright purchase?
The listed RobotLAB price for this pack is $235 as an outright purchase. For volume orders, financing, or subscription options across a larger Cubelets rollout, call 1-87-RobotLAB to discuss what fits your budget and procurement process.
