Kibidango Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryota Matsuzaki) will launch a crowdfunding project on its platform 'Kibidango' for the next-generation STEM education toy 'SparkBlocks' from Canada.
SparkBlocks are blocks that add electronic gimmicks such as movement, light, and sound to creations just by snapping them together. No wiring, apps, or soldering is required. Designed to be compatible with blocks you already have at home, they add the new excitement of technology to familiar block play. It is a new proposal that allows everyone from children to adults to enjoy surprises and the experience of invention, touching real engineering naturally through play.
The appeal of SparkBlocks lies in adding a new layer of 'electronic parts' to the classic fun of block play. Creations light up, make sounds, rotate, and come to life. By layering the thrill of technology onto block play, it provides an irresistible experience for both block-loving children and adults who have long been fascinated by electronic toys.
Furthermore, SparkBlocks pieces are printed with circuit symbols used by professional engineers. Without even realizing they are studying, users naturally encounter basic electrical concepts like polarity, current, resistance, series, and parallel circuits while building, testing, and playing. A unique value of SparkBlocks is the ability to put down smartphones and focus entirely on the toy in front of them, engaging in hands-on trial and error.
This product also proposes adding new forms of expression—such as light, motion, sound, and circuits—to the creative play of Lego® blocks that have captivated the world. By breathing life into built cities, vehicles, robots, and devices with electronic gimmicks, it opens doors to play and inventions never before imagined. The developers are two fathers from Canada with a passion for craftsmanship. The two are...
