Great news today. We’re happy to announce that roBlocks (Cubelets development name) received a $100,000 “Phase I” Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Science Foundation.

We’ll be building a few different frameworks for end-user programming and testing with a bunch of smart kids. Fun!
