Secular Liberty Homeschoolers is a group for anyone who homeschools or is interested in homeschooling. We created Attack of the Cuboids as a robotics team in the FIRST® LEGO® League — an organization dedicated to guiding youth through STEM learning and exploration at an early age.
For more information, visit their website at: https://www.firstlegoleague.org/
You can find us on YouTube @SecularLiberty.

Thank you for visiting, and have a great day.
Watch our video to see the Cuboids modify their submarine with a new sensor and motor — complete with a freshly coded program that made the fan purr like a catfish. They also constructed a snowmobile that they quickly retooled into a deep-water submarine set to explore the abyssal zone (and all areas of the work table!).
Finally, imagination took to the seas as the kids built their very own new animal species — the Cleeshale — and its cave habitat. What is a Cleeshale? It can vary in size from about the diameter of a basketball to the gargantuan length of a whale; and it lives in both the sunlight and twilight zones, feasting on its favorite prey: the tarpon.
Keep up the great work, Cuboids!
These have been a big few weeks! The Cuboids just wrapped up our small builds for the three ocean zones on our mat.
We also experimented with modifying the structure and speed of our super amazing boat launcher and learned more about functional parts of our build like sensors and light displays. We tied those parts back to a lesson on how submersibles use visual alarms to avoid waking deep-sea squids and avoid hurting them…
…and hopefully keep them from turning us into another 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea cautionary tale. Yikes!
This was the Cuboids' FIRST-EVER venture into the robotics space! So we spent our first week taking our time, making sure we were on the right track.
It didn't take long before our builds started taking shape. Of course, we couldn't have done it without such great help from our younger, under-the-table-dwelling friends.
Thank you all!
