Over 30 interactive modules inspire kids to learn and play

–

The Neuron system offers over 30 electronic blocks, including a voice sensor, light sensor and infrared sensor. As they play with the blocks, creating and inventing new uses, the children receive all sorts of audio, visual and somatosensory stimuli. This playful interaction encourages children to stay focused and learn the scientific principles behind various phenomena, which in turn can inspire even further creativity.

Lightning-fast magnetic connectors give free rein to creativity

The Neuron blocks can all be linked together using magnetic Pogo pin[1] connectors. This patented interface ensures that links are safe and fast. It also prevents modules from being connected the wrong way. Children can link different blocks in an instant. They can even match Neuron with other everyday stuffs to create voice-activated lights, remote-controlled model cars that steer clear of obstacles and loads of other fun and interesting gadgets.

[1] Pogo pins are the precision-made pins used in mobile phones and other electronic devices. They are used extensively as connectors in a wide range of semiconductor applications.

Creation made easy – even for newbies

–

The Neuron platform is bundled with the Neuron App: a flow-based programming application. With a ‘drag and drop’, a click and a conjoining line, children can set a new Neuron project into motion in a matter of seconds. This simple procedure immediately triggers visual feedback from Neuron – making it easier for children to understand the results of their actions. Interacting with Neuron blocks is easy as cake – even for users who have never coded in their life.

Neuron also supports mBlock 5, a graphic programming language developed based on Scratch3.0 [2]. This language is so easy to use that anyone who can read is actually able to code – it’s as simple as putting blocks together.

[2] Scratch: a programming language developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for children, is currently the most widely used visual programming language in the world.

Integrated components guarantee safety and durability

–

Neuron’s electronic components are all encased in PC+ABS composite materials. This ensures that children don’t come in direct contact with any metal components. It also protects the components themselves, resulting in sturdy electronic modules that can handle lots of play. The blocks are child-friendly thanks to their rounded corners and simple physical design.

Examples and tutorials help children create and invent

–

A range of how-to videos teach children the basics of the Neuron system. And the Neuron App’s step-by-step video tutorials help them on their ways. Neuron’s learning programme is supported by loads of Idea Cards for new software and hardware applications. Special manuals show you how to perform various scientific experiments. Starting with simple replication, Neuron gradually moves towards original, boundless invention. This encourages children to keep exploring and unlocking their creative potential.
