Overview

What is the Cubelets- Engineering Expansion Pack?

The Cubelets Engineering Expansion Pack from Modular Robotics is a supplemental add-on for classrooms, camps, and clubs that already run Cubelets. RobotLAB resells, deploys, and supports it as part of a complete STEM-robotics program. Rather than a standalone starter kit, it layers additional magnetic robot blocks, Brick Adapters, storage, and a 5-port battery charger onto an existing Cubelets Six, Cubelets Twenty, or Educator Pack base — expanding both the number of robots students can build at once and the engineering content they can teach.

Cubelets are magnetic SENSE, THINK, and ACT blocks that snap together with no code and no wires to produce surprisingly lifelike robot behavior. The Engineering Expansion Pack's accompanying lesson plans steer that hands-on building toward the engineering-design process specifically: defining problems, setting criteria and constraints, prototyping, iterating, and reverse-engineering. The included Brick Adapters let students bridge Cubelets to LEGO-compatible bricks, bringing motion and sensing to their own constructions.

RobotLAB positions this pack for educators who have validated Cubelets with a base kit and now want to deepen the engineering side of the curriculum and serve more students per session. Because it is an expansion rather than a complete robot kit, it assumes you already own foundational blocks. RobotLAB can advise on the right base kit, quantities for your student-to-robot ratio, and bundled lesson-plan options. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to scope a deployment.

How it works

Cubelets- Engineering Expansion Pack in detail

K-12 engineering-design units

Schools running grade 2-8 STEM or engineering classes use the pack to teach the full design-thinking cycle — defining a problem, weighing criteria and constraints, prototyping a robot solution, then reverse-engineering and iterating. Because it expands an existing Cubelets base, a single classroom can put more buildable robots in front of more students at once.

Makerspaces and STEM labs

Library makerspaces, museum learning labs, and after-school STEM centers add this pack to a Cubelets Twenty or Educator Pack to broaden the variety of robots learners can build and to fold structured engineering challenges into otherwise open-ended tinkering. The Brick Adapters let visitors mash up Cubelets with LEGO-style bricks for richer builds.

Special-education and inclusive STEM

Cubelets' no-code, no-wires, snap-together format lowers the barrier for learners across a wide range of abilities. Educators use the Engineering Expansion Pack to deliver tactile, screen-free engineering activities where students reason about cause and effect by physically rearranging blocks rather than typing code.

Summer camps and enrichment clubs

Robotics camps and coding clubs that already own a base Cubelets kit use the expansion pack to scale up — more robots per session and a ready-made engineering curriculum — without re-purchasing foundational blocks. The 5-port charger keeps a larger fleet of robots ready between sessions.

Questions & answers

About the Cubelets- Engineering Expansion Pack.

  1. Is the Engineering Expansion Pack a complete robot kit I can start with?

    No. It is an expansion pack designed to supplement a Cubelets kit you already own — typically Cubelets Six, Cubelets Twenty, or the Educator Pack. It adds more robot blocks plus an engineering-design curriculum, but it assumes you already have a foundational set of blocks. If you are starting from scratch, call 1-87-RobotLAB and we will recommend the right base kit first.

  2. Exactly which Cubelets blocks and how many Brick Adapters come in this pack?

    Modular Robotics lists the contents as Cubelets robot blocks, Brick Adapters, storage, a 5-port battery charger, and a warranty, but it does not publish the exact block-by-block breakdown or the precise Brick Adapter count for this expansion pack. For a confirmed, itemized contents list before you order, call 1-87-RobotLAB and we will get the current manifest from the manufacturer.

  3. What ages and grade levels is it for?

    It is recommended for ages 7 and up, with the core curriculum targeting grades 2 through 8. The broader Cubelets lesson-plan library spans PreK through 12, so the same blocks can support younger and older learners with differentiated activities.

  4. Do students need to write code to use it?

    No. Cubelets snap together magnetically with no programming and no wires, and robot behavior emerges from how the blocks are arranged. That makes it well suited to younger and special-education learners. For students ready for more, Cubelets can also be programmed through the Cubelets app, but coding is optional for the engineering activities in this pack.

  5. How does this differ from the Computational Thinking and Life Science Expansion Packs?

    All three are the same format — additional robot blocks, Brick Adapters, storage, and a 5-port charger, paired with subject-specific lesson plans for an existing Cubelets base. They differ in curriculum focus: this one centers on the engineering-design process, while the others focus on computational-thinking skills and life-science concepts respectively. Many programs add more than one over time. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to bundle the right mix.

  6. Can RobotLAB help with classroom-scale quantities, leasing, or training?

    Yes. RobotLAB is a commercial robotics integrator that sells, leases, RaaS-subscribes, deploys, trains, and services these kits nationwide. We can advise on how many packs you need to hit your student-to-robot ratio, bundle the appropriate base kits, and arrange educator training. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to scope it for your school or district.

  7. What is the price and is it in stock?

    RobotLAB lists the Engineering Expansion Pack at $299. Availability and current pricing can change, so call 1-87-RobotLAB to confirm stock, get a formal quote, or ask about volume and district pricing.
