The promise of construction toys isn't in the picture on the front of each box: it's the dream that children's imagination will pass beyond the box.  Indeed, many approaches to children's learning emphasize minimalistic toys which aren't proscriptive in how they should be used.  Meanwhile, branded construction toys retain proprietary connections, preferring to encourage consumers to purchase more of their products.

We're taking a different approach, seeking to break down the boundaries between toy sets, the physical world, and the imagination.

Excited?  Let us know.

My name is Eric & I'm excited to make it easier for my 4-year old daughter to connect her Legos to the rest of the world through magnets, strong structural connections, electricity, and algorithms.  Let me know if you want to be a part of this - or have ideas I ought to pursue.
