Getting Started with KUBO

Take rocket learning to new heights with the Straw Rocket Launcher! Building straw rockets is a fun, inexpensive activity and a great way to introduce students to rocketry. And, with this Pitsco Education classic, students can test their builds. They can conduct scientific experiments by varying the trajectory angle and launch energy. These rockets can travel up to 50 feet!

Build a siege machine in no time! Plus, no gluing or tools required. The EZ Trebuchet is an easy build that will have students experimenting with mass, measurements, and projectiles. The trebuchet is counterbalanced by small washers and uses a lightweight bead on a string as the projectile. Measuring various counterweight masses, different lengths of strings on the projectile, and beads with different masses as the projectile with this medieval machine are all possibilities!

Hydraulics? Mechanics? Try power learning with this combo! The T-Bot II can be used for a range of ages and educational concepts – from showing third graders how to work together to helping college students explore load and effort forces. From basic maneuvers to team-building, this Pitsco Exclusive can enable students to do more.

KUBO is a new multi-award winning classroom solution that breaks down barriers to teaching technology to children as young as four years old. Designed like a puzzle, KUBO’s groundbreaking TagTile™ programming language is tangible, intuitive, and completely screen free — making it easy for teachers to adopt it and offer younger students a social and hands-on opportunity to learn basic coding concepts and essential 21st-century skills during early childhood development. Watch just how easy it is to get started! You'll be up and running in just minutes!
