Blix Education Launches DIY RC Megastructures Set

Blix Education, a fun and creative education brand has recently announced the launch of its latest DIY remote-controlled Megastructures Set, designed to take children on a journey filled with big builds and exciting adventures, intersecting play and education. With the newly launched kit, Blix delivers dual play value by allowing children to both construct and then play with their builds. This set is poised to transform playful experiences, with an emphasis on nurturing a deep understanding of creativity, curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving acumen. 

Developed for age groups 8 and above, the RC Megastructures kit includes over 750 pieces, enabling children to mould their inner engineer by building eight different models, spanning from mighty cranes to fascinating folding bridges. These designs come to life with a push of a button using the 2.4 GHz remote control, which allows children to experience seamless connection and control like never before. This kit is a testament to Blix’s capability to offer a single set with limitless possibilities. 

Elated with the launch, Abbas G, Founder and CEO  of Blix Education commented, “We are excited to unveil the RC Megastructures set, an unparalleled DIY kit to foster experimentation, creativity, and creation for building robust machines amongst children. Evolving beyond online games and digital screens, our kit is designed to keep children mentally stimulated and entertained, encouraging them to play by interacting with motors, gears, and other tools. With this launch, we’re striving to transform every playtime into an abode of adventure, and facilitate the ‘Make in India’ initiative.”

This versatile set can be used to build a Port Crane model, inspired by the massive cranes that dominate the harbor skylines by mirroring its real-world mechanics. In addition, this interactive and immersive model empowers learning, imaginative play, and building understanding by experimenting with the mechanics of the tower crane and aerobridge. Furthermore, children can also explore the cosmos with the telescope mount model, created to replicate the controls of real telescope mounts used in stargazing.       

Standing as an engineering marvel, the RC Megastructures set allows children to develop replicas of transporter and folding bridges, which offers a building challenge and educates on the mechanics of intricate bridge designs. Additionally, to mimic the functionality of heavy operational machinery like mining drills or industrial gantry cranes, this innovative set helps users understand the intricacy of X-Y motion systems commonly used in manufacturing and engineering. 

From controlling a giant crane, and operating a transporter bridge, to managing an X-Y table, this set is poised to catalyse a profound interest in engineering among children. By enabling them to look beyond the aesthetics and play with the actual working of complex objects, this set makes play a new haven for hands-on learning. Priced at Rs 5999, the RC Megastructure set is perfect for parent-child projects, sparking creativity, bonding, and fun as they figure out the workings of each model.
