Description
This product is a fun, brick based electronic construction set that teaches STEM/STEAM where you Learn by Building fun projects like a Fan Launcher, FM radio and Wake Up Alarm.
The associated curriculum can be access on any smart device, tablet, chrome book or PC and provides a fun, animated way of learning STEM and covering many of the NGSS requirements.
Learn about Electricity & Circuits, Motors & Flying Saucers, Light, Sound, Switches, Telecommunications & FM Radio, Parallel vs Series Circuits, Resistors, Capacitors & Transistors the fun way.
Then when you are done learning STEM through all 395 projects, you can use what you learned and your STEAM creative thinking to integrate circuits from this product into your existing brick products to bring them to life with lights, sounds and motion!
What our testers said
“I want to use the fibre optic tree. Look, project 110 uses it. Let’s do this one. It worked! Let’s turn the lights off to see it better.” – Girl aged 11
“It is really cool that the circuit is in the blocks. I wonder if these work with other building bricks. Hmm, I will have to try it.” – Girl aged 9
What our experts think
Circuit Blox allow children to experiment with the science of circuits and provide a huge amount of project ideas for children to follow and build their own working electronics. As well as completing the projects provided, the set offers open-ended play – the children explored whether they could attach other building blocks to the circuit ones, which is a fantastic way to foster creative problem-solving.
Sets like this really help children’s understanding of concepts in science because they have real-world relevance. For example, they are able to broaden their understanding of electronics by creating circuits in the set and then applying this knowledge and understanding to how other objects are powered in their day to day life.
The children enjoyed playing with the set in small groups or with an adult or teacher, which offers lots of opportunities for developing important social skills in collaboration, communication and teamwork. Parent guidance and supervision throughout play is recommended as children often needed assistance with reading and understanding the instructions.
