We all want our kids to have the best education, get the best degrees, find the best jobs, and settle down in life. The world though is moving in another direction.
Education is supposed to prepare our children for the industry. But most of the jobs today didn’t even exist 10 years ago. The future is moving even quicker.
College degrees are supposed to help them find jobs. But major corporations like Google, Apple, Facebook, and even traditional companies like Home Depot, Hilton Hotels, etc don’t base their recruitment on degrees anymore. These are trendsetters. What they do now, will likely be the norm a few years from now when our children today will be working towards making their dreams come true.
So, are we doing right by our children when we tell them to focus on performing well in exams, get good grades, and go to college?

Integrated Curriculum: For schools that wish to add STEM education to their permanent curriculum.
Schools have a far bigger responsibility today than just uploading the set curriculum in the minds of children. Parents expect schools to be the ones responsible to make their kids ready for the world they will grow up in. This requires real drive and intention from the management to take the extra effort into exposing their kids to stimuli that develop the right parts of the brain, and instill fundamental skills required by them. Many schools today have adopted STEM as a part of their permanent curriculum. This is a big advantage for parents who are increasingly aware of the importance of STEM.

Here you will see some of the projects that are built by different people using BLIX. Understand the motivations that these creators harbor and you will be inspired by their ability to bring their imagination to fruition.

Read MoreParents of some future creators sharing their experiences with BLIX Robotix.
Insiya’s love for machines games made her grandpa get Blix for her, this is the second time she has tried on Blix and this time she tried all the experiments on her own she enjoyed every bit of making. Every time she finishes an experiment she has a feeling of accomplishment which is great.
As a parent what I always need for my children, Especially amidst this lockdown is lower screentime, fun, and learning to keep them motivated and Blix did that for her for a while and kept her occupied. As soon as she finished up she had the excitement to do the other one since she had got a hang of it. She got familiar with concepts like gears parallel and linear motion. The elevator experiment is one of her favorites. I am happy and content with this box of fun and learning.
My son was never into building or designing, this being the reason we never thought of Mechanix or Blix. Until my sister gifted him one Mechanix set and then he fell in love with it. One soon became about 6 sets. Recently, my sister’s bestie gifted him a Blix Robotix set, and his joy knew no bounds. Not having tried Robotix before, he was nervous but I'm glad he gave it a shot.
The concepts are precise and make it easier for the kids to follow directions and discover machines. Going through the content before building helped a lot. He learned about the functions of simple machines, pulleys, wheels, and axles in a very innovative way and now he can even recognize these machines in daily life.
I liked the fact that his mind was opening to how real-life things work. The manual and videos provide step by step insight into what happens next. With so much hard work involved in building this blix set, it only gives you happiness and brings in smiles to see your child try new designs, using the same concepts.
Blix has simplified science for my son, ultimately the role of a genius is not to complicate the simple but to simplify the complicated. Thank you, Zephyr for such wonderful toys.
Blix has been a fun way for learning robotics for my son. It has taught him about the gearbox, motor, etc.. It is also a good way to prep your engineering skills during holidays.
The tools are easy to use and the instruction manual and online content describe each step in detail making the setup and construction really easy. My favorite Blix has been Discovering Motions one.
Definitely a must-have.
"As someone who's always enjoyed putting his imagination to use and create new models every day, Blix has been a wonderful outlet to do so. It works on a similar principle as building blocks but the many added features only make it more engaging and enjoyable to play and experiment with. His knowledge of motors and the working of various gears has improved considerably and this has helped further his interest in mechanics.
As a mother of a curious child, I was looking for something that not only interests my son but also enhances his creativity and logic. Just then I came across the Blix Robotics program. It was perfect to engage young minds creatively n learning robotics concepts in a fun n constructive way. Atharva thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the program and loved the kinds of stuff he built during the workshop. We both are looking forward to having more such workshops in the future. Thank you, team Blix. Keep inspiring young brains 👍
We all are aware of the inadequacies of the education system to prepare our children for the future. Some progressive schools realize this and are making efforts to create opportunities for kids to develop their problem solving, reasoning, and cognitive skills even though it isn’t prescribed by the board. Growth of technology and artificial intelligence is going to make many jobs obsolete, and we need to create competencies in our kids which are difficult to reproduce through machines.
The BLIX program is designed to induce holistic self-learning. When they build robots and machines, they are performing mathematics, but not with the focus on mathematics. It is one part of their overall project. This really builds their learning capabilities as a whole, which makes it fun, exciting, and more impactful. This develops the skills that help them perform better in their regular studies.
Absolutely. We focus on the basics of science and technology, something every child learns multiple times at different levels in schools. Topics like light, sounds, electric circuit, force, and even mathematics are fundamental to education, and we focus on these topics as well. It will enhance their school performance because now, not only do they have to reproduce the knowledge but also will have a deep understanding of the subject that can only come through experiential learning.
All our spares are available online. Clicking this link will take you to the page from where you can buy whatever spares you need. The main benefit of having access to spares is that kids eventually want to build their own projects with their own creative ideas. Usually, if some pieces fall short, it becomes difficult to buy a whole new set to get access to those parts. Spares allow them to buy only what they need.
Once the course is over is when the real exciting part starts. The child starts building their own projects and the kit is designed specifically for this purpose by being extremely versatile. Besides we will upload challenges that they can participate in with their kit and be continuously involved with the community.
