Use light, sound, distance, and motion sensors to master the input–process–output loop, then build smart devices that solve everyday problems.

01 Overview

Overview

AI Block combines a wide range of sensors and actuators in a block form factor, so students can design and build their own smart devices.

Learners systematically work through the input–process–output flow — a natural fit for creative maker projects that solve everyday problems.

Runs well as a tiered program from basic coding through convergent creative projects.
