Circuit Cubes Smart Art User manual

getting started with
SMART
ART

WELCOME!
Your toys are about to
come to life with Circuit
Cubes, the electronic
building blocks that
add power, motion, and
light to your creations.
Designed by teachers,
Circuit Cubes can turn a
light on, power a motor,
or make wheels spin —
plus they work with all
your LEGO® bricks.
Getting Started
Get your markers in motion by adding a wheel, motor,
and bright LED light to your favorite art projects.
Some drawings you control; some, you don’t! Watch
what happens to your art when you try dierent
Circuit Cube builds.
Projects
Once you’ve mastered the ten projects in this booklet,
go online to find others: tenkalabs.com/circuit-cubes/
build. Tag your projects with #circuitcubes to share.
WARNING: Some of these projects require the use of
scissors. Please have a parent or guardian supervise
when you’re working with sharp objects.

MEET
THE
CUBES
These three Circuit
Cubes are all you need
for endless projects
and hours of fun!

Motor Cube
A perfect fit for your LEGO® gears and wheels, the
Motor Cube is fast — in both directions! Or slow it
down by swapping out gears — a large one for a
small one, it’s changing the gear ratio (like you do
on your bicycle!
LED Cube
Snap this ultra-bright oversized LED onto your
LEGO® bricks and get thousands of hours of light to
light up your builds, from easy flashlight set-ups to
tricky projects only you can think up.
Battery Cube
The rechargeable Battery Cube powers your projects
for up to an hour of active play time! If it’s green, it’s
charged and ready to go; if it needs charging, plug
it into the MicroUSB charger in the kit. Works great
with all your LEGO®s.

SCRIBBLEBOT
Take your basic Scribblebot and make it even cooler
using two markers. Try placing them in different
places on the axle. Do your drawings change?

1-MARKER
SCRIBBLEBOT
Make a basic Scribblebot using just one marker.
Notice how it moves forward as it spins. That’s
because of the friction between your Scribblebot’s
wheel and the paper. That’s one crazy spiral design!

4-MARKER
SCRIBBLEBOT
Adding four markers in various colors causes some
amazing shapes as the markers hop around on the
paper. What happens if you put the markers close
together? How about when you space them far
apart? Don’t be afraid to experiment!

SPINNING
MOBILE
Use your markers to draw your art and then use
them to build the project! Make a cool drawing and
then mount it to two of the markers. Watch them
spin around while being lit from below. For our
Spinning Mobile, we chose to draw two sets of fish—
one big fish chasing a school of little fish spinning
around and around. What will you do?

ABOUT
CIRCUIT
CUBES
Invented by two teachers, Circuit Cubes’ unique
design provides visibility so that kids can literally
see how the connections are made to complete a
circuit to drive a motor, light an LED, or engage a
sensor. Only Circuit Cubes, with magnetic corners
on multiple sides, enable kids to build horizontally,
vertically, or diagonally. Circuit Cubes’ design fully
integrates with authentic LEGO® style bricks and
Mattel’s MegaBloks.
