The Bloxel, a 3D counterpart of Pixel's construction block, is revolutionizing classrooms worldwide with the help of 3D printers. Children as young as grade schoolers are now exposed to this technology. With Bloxels, you can print almost any color and modify final prints for educational purposes. The possibilities are endless with a set of Bloxels; they offer a hands-on approach to teaching complex concepts like 3D space and design. Teachers can use different colored Bloxels as interactive tools to explain digital images, while also introducing the X, Y, and Z coordinates through 3D sculptures made from Bloxels. To enhance learning experiences, teachers may add other elements such as dowels, string, rubber bands, wheels, gears, and pulleys for students to experiment with. This innovative method combines both experiential and instructional learning for school children.
