Kibidango Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryota Matsuzaki) is launching a crowdfunding project on its platform 'Kibidango' for 'SparkBlocks,' a next-generation STEM educational toy from Canada.
SparkBlocks are blocks that let you add electronic features like movement, light, and sound to your creations simply by snapping them together. No wiring, no apps, and of course no soldering required. Designed to be compatible with blocks you already have at home, SparkBlocks adds the excitement of technology to the familiar fun of block play. Real engineering concepts absorbed through play without even realizing it — that's the surprising, inventive experience this product offers for kids and adults alike.
The appeal of SparkBlocks is that it preserves all the fun of classic block play while adding a new layer of 'electronic components.' Creations light up, make sounds, spin, and come to life. With the thrill of technology layered on top of block play, it's an irresistible experience not only for block-loving kids but also for adults who have always been fascinated by electronic toys.
Moreover, SparkBlocks block components feature circuit diagram symbols used by professional engineers. Even without any conscious effort to study, as children build, experiment, and play, they naturally encounter fundamental electrical concepts such as polarity, current, resistance, series circuits, and parallel circuits. Another unique value of SparkBlocks is that it lets you put down your smartphone and engage in hands-on trial and error with just the toy in front of you.
This product is also a proposal to add new forms of expression — 'light,' 'movement,' 'sound,' and 'circuits' — to the creative play of LEGO® bricks that has captivated the world. By breathing electronic life into the cities, vehicles, robots, and devices you build, doors to play and invention you never imagined are opened. The developers are two fathers from Canada with a passion for making things. The two...
