Students learn the most when they are having fun, so that is why I made Ed Blocks. Ed Blocks inspire students of all ages by providing hands-on learning.

Part of the design of the blocks requires the student to problem solve the placement and pairing of the blocks unique interlocking slide system. The slide system is specifically designed to challenge the student's problem-solving skills. It also provides multiple connection options with both interlocking slides and peg and hole placement options. This allows for both horizontal and vertical connection points enhancing students creativity and building capabilities. There are also two and four-way connectors and octagon beams and holes to allow for varying angles of connection.

Tools like this can make a big difference in a student's development of spatial awareness, creativity, problem solving and design. Worksheets don't inspire student's creativity, but when a student is having fun and engaged in kinesthetic learning they get inspired to do great things. Simple building blocks were the impetus for my creativity and love for designing. That is why I want to inspire student's all around the world with Ed Blocks and hope that they will do the same.

Are you wondering what all the file names mean? Here is what they mean:

h.stl - Horizontal block
hh.stl - Horizontal block with hole
hb.stl - Horizontal block with beam
hhb.stl - Horizontal block with hole and beam
h2.stl - Horizontal two-way connector block
h2h - Horizontal two-way connector block with hole
h2b - Horizontal two-way connector block with
h2hb.stl - Horizontal two-way connector block with hole and beam
h4.stl - Horizontal four-way connector
h4h.stl - Horizontal four-way connecter with hole
h4b.stl - Horizontal four-way connecter with beam
h4hb.stl - Horizontal four-way connecter with hole and beam

If you have any questions comments or concerns please let me know.

Coming up next:

  • 3-way connector

Please note that I still have school so I will work on those whenever I can.
