The kits uses “denshi blocks” (also known as electronic blocks) to allow electronics experiments to be performed easily and safely. More than 25 years after its original release, one of the main kits from the series was reissued in Japan, and now you can get it from the Maker Shed store! MAKE is proud to be the exclusive distributor in North America for these brilliant kits from Gakken.
