The Ultimate Blix Kit for Curious Builders - RC Megastructures
From the start, our goal has been to create construction systems that children could easily understand and enjoy — ones that were fun to build, simple to understand, and versatile enough to turn imagination into working models. This led to the creation of STEM kits and learning experiences that connect students to the science and technology shaping everyday life.
But we wanted to do something more. Building stuff is fun, but what if it could turn into something you can control sitting anywhere in the room? And what if we try to replicate real-life machines this time and add a touch of blix to it?
This idea was the starting point for our large-built STEM kit. The RC Megastructure. This RC building kit was made to be the bridge between understanding how machines on construction sites work, instead of just reading about them in books and on the internet, giving kids a glimpse into the field of civil engineering.
Now, as the conversation continues, let's break down this STEM construction kit and understand all the things kids can do with it.
Inside the Megastructure
When kids pass by construction sites while travelling to school and back, they always wonder how these machines are transported to a specific place without anyone noticing and how these machines are used during construction. Their heads are filled with questions, but finding the right answers can be difficult. RC Megastructures is that answer.
This STEM kit is one of our largest builds yet, with 750 pieces, which includes a 2.4 GHz receiver and transmitter. Models like the tower crane, the machine that makes every single child curious and excited, give the perfect insight into the question we talked about before. They understand every single mechanism that goes into making the crane work and how it is put together and reaches such a height overnight.
And it's not just about machines used on construction sites. We all see folding bridges in the world, but the process behind how they are built so they can safely support vehicles is not common knowledge, but the kids who have this STEM kit are the few who possess it. Models like the folding bridge gave kids an insight into how load-bearing, balance, and stability play a major role while building a bridge in real life. Now add the RC element, and you have a fully functioning folding bridge with its controls in the palm of your hand.
The RC Megastructures brings together building, engineering, and remote control in one experience, giving curious builders a chance to move from simply asking, "How does this work?" to actually building the answer themselves.
Making The Right Choice For Your Kid
The correct STEM kit for your kids will always be something around their interests and what makes them curious in the world around them. But the RC megastructure is not just for kids, if we are being honest. This is a kit that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Yes, it is true that a lot of our products might be more enjoyable to kids, but a certain few, besides the RC kit, are equally loved by adults.
So if you are an adult who is looking for a kit to give to your child or are looking to buy one for yourself, we have always got you covered with our range of STEM and robotics kits, which you can get at any toy store near you or browse through our entire range of STEM kits on the Blix website and get it delivered right to your doorstep.
