Product Overview
E-Blox Circuit Blox 800 is an electronics building kit that combines colorful blocks with embedded electronic components to create working circuits. When assembled properly, the blocks light different lights, create entertaining sounds, and spin a motor and fan. Builders can even construct an electromagnetic inductive windmill that spins continuously. The kit provides hours of educational play for students and young engineers exploring how circuits work.
- Colorful building blocks contain electronic components that snap together to form functional circuits
- Lights different lights, creates entertaining sounds, and powers a motor and fan when circuits are completed correctly
- Build an electromagnetic inductive windmill that spins continuously
- Hands-on introduction to circuit building
