KUBO Coding: Functions

Meet Code Cube, a codeable wearable device with a rechargeable lithium battery built in. The screen is made up of sixty-four pixel LED lights. In the box, you'll find one Code Cube, a micro USB cable, and one slap band. This elementary coding solution allows students to be programming in just minutes and is fully supported by classroom-ready curriculum and activities. Pitsco staffer Kristina will show you how to get started with Code Cube.

Kristina will help work through Lesson One – Turning on the Lights. In this lesson, you will learn how to make your Code Cube display an image.

The first in a three-part series, Dan and Ray explain the 'what' when it comes to the basics of CO2 racing.

Dan and Ray are here with the Science of Speed video series to talk about the benefits of the STEM activity of CO2 drag racing. It is not just for fun but is also a good activity for learning STEM concepts and it provides students with the opportunity to experience the engineering process

Dan and Ray are here with the Science of Speed video series to talk about what is needed to do the CO2 dragster activity. You will learn the specific tools and knowledge needed in order to complete the design phases of this project.

Building a robot takes attention to detail. In this video, Robotics Application Specialist Tim Lankford demonstrates these details while constructing a TETRIX ® PRIME Wheelee Bot. You’ll be driving this three-wheeled, remote-controlled robot in no time.

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.
