Blending creativity, spatial literacy and architectural principles, Lux Blox is revolutionizing educational play
With bendable Lux Blox’s snap and lock hinge system, it allows kids to create structures that curve, bend, flex, twist, turn and move while retaining strength and stability. Now builders and innovators of all ages can use Lux Blox to model machines, biological organisms, architecture — or whatever structures they can imagine! This is why Lux has such an extraordinary ability to make strong structures which imitate nature – it’s a hinged block that permits bending and folding, and you can develop strength through the principle of corrugation. Engineers use this principle when making airplanes, rockets, cardboard, and most products that require strength and lightness.
