Simple and Durable
Building blocks are connected in a snap with magnetic Pogo Pins, with the added benefit of making each block more durable.
With or Without Coding
Neuron gadgets can be built with or without coding. With the Neuron app, devices constructed out of connected blocks can be programmed to create unique games and other devices. Users can also simply assemble the blocks to make creative gadgets without needing to write any code.
Flow-based Programming
The flow-based programming interface in the Neuron app enables beginners to easily create Neuron applications and add basic or advanced functionality (e.g. IoT) into their inventions without prior coding experience.
Gadget Ideas
The Neuron app comes with Invention Guides and video tutorials to show you how to get started building with the Inventor Kit. Follow, then lead with your own creative ideas.
Widely Extensible
Compatible with the Makeblock platform and LEGO® blocks, the Neuron allows for just as many fun games and toys as you have ideas.
Magnetic Design
The magnetic design at the back of Neuron blocks facilitates home use and lab work demonstrations. You can simply place your gadget on a fridge or a whiteboard to show it off and explain how it works.
mBlock Support
Neuron gadgets can be controlled and programmed using mBlock on desktop and the Neuron app on mobile devices.
Note: The release version of mBlock will differ significantly from the beta version.
Open SDK
The Neuron protocol and library are both open-source. Everyone is encouraged to be a developer and share their ideas with the Neuron community.
Makeblock Creative Cloud
With Makeblock Creative Cloud, you and your family and friends can easily control your Neuron gadgets remotely over the Internet.
More Blocks, More Gadgets
Additional unique Neuron blocks including camera blocks, joystick blocks, and more, will be available soon for more gadgets and more creativity.
