Getting Started with the Magic Cubes

​​So you have your Magic Cubes kit. ​
​Just follow these easy instructions to get started.

1 | Start

All of the pieces you'll need are held within the Magic Cubes kit. The six pieces are the sides of the cube we will build. Have a look at the names on each piece, and they will tell you something about the different components our sensing cube needs to work properly. Did you spot the sensor? And the battery? Next, just press each of the pieces out gently so they come away from the card.

Now you can assemble all six sides of the cube together. Take each of the pieces and work out how they fit together. The shapes, holes, and numbers on each piece will help you - when you look at them closely. Build all of the six pieces together. Your goal is to make the cube.

3 | Exploring

Now you can begin exploring the world around you using the many sensors of the MagicCube. Once you've built the cube, the light matrix on your MagicCube device will light up to let you know you've got it right. Now you can begin to explore how the sensor works. When you shake the cube it will light up in different colours. Can you shake it very slowly? How about shaking it really, really fast?
