The project need of funding to cover the tooling, manufacturing and various other expenses, the Kickstarter campaign will have a funding goal of at least $12,000 USD to be raised within a limited time period.
Blocks Teams will be composed of four parts: BDS blocks, screws & fasteners, physical equipment kits and power supply. The toy is based on the STEM ideology of education, STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines: science, technology, engineering and mathematics, in coalition which allows students to be innovative and look at these subjects in a different way.
SainSmart Jr. spokesperson explained: “Blocks Team is developed under this background. We mix kids’ favorite brick toy and STEM concept into this fancy new toy.

Blocks Team are all about promoting learning through fun and enforce the necessary engineering skill children will need in the future!”
By block splicing and srcew locking, the building blocks can be built into a more stable and perfect 3D structure. With physical kits such as gears, bearings and other accessories, the toy can complete physical actions like levering,wheeling, transmission and more.
