WisBLOCK

Explore electronics, coding and IoT by building real connected devices. WisBlock’s modular system screws together rather than requiring soldering, so components can be reconfigured and reused across different projects. The same modular system is used in real-world IoT development, allowing students to learn, prototype and build using technology designed for deployment beyond the classroom.
