Airblock is fun whether you're just flying it around the house or controlling it in a pool or on land! Fly over new terrain and explore new horizons for an amazingly exciting adventure! 

 

 

 

Crash it and rebulid it! It's fun to watch it hit walls and crumble into building blocks. The soft and durable foam material makes it crash-friendly, but you don't have to worry about damaging walls or furniture. 

 

 

 

The controller was designed to be the command station that brings your imagination to flight. From the app, you can drag-and-drop blocks to create flight codes, then assign the code to a button. If you don’t feel like coding, you can just commandeer Airblock using the joystick controls.

THE AERODYNAMICS BEHIND THE HOVERCRAFT

The lift from the four propellers allows Airblock to do a number of stunts, and by selecting two propellers from either side, it can generate specific movements. For instance, the two propellers located on the back of the hovercraft drive the hovercraft forward. The two propellers located in the front drive the hovercraft backward. Getting two propellers to push against each other enables the hovercraft to go left or right. With a little bit of knowledge in physics and aerodynamics, you can even make the hovercraft drift, slide or rotate in any direction!

WHY WE CREATED AIRBLOCK

Why a Drone 

When kids are younger, they only look at the things in front of them, but as they get older they start to look up and see a whole new world soaring above them. We have always been fascinated with what we couldn't do ourselves -- flight. We wanted to create a flying toy that children can make on their own and proudly exclaim it is their work and theirs only as it flies above their heads.

Why We Created a Modular Drone 

There aren't a lot of drones that are created so kids and adults can build and play. The toy drones available now are so easily broken, so we wanted to created a drone that kids can build on their own and crash without having to worry about damaging furnitures or breaking easily. 

Why We Created a Programmable Drone

Programming is not only useful for future programmers and computer scientists, but also plays a vital role in the child’s learning phase. We hope to use more interesting and interactive programming gadgets to foster children’s love for science and technology. We hope our gadgets can attribute to a child’s development and stimulate children to think independently and solves problems creatively.

AN ACTIVE COMMUNITY WITH OVER 400K USERS GLOBALLY

We’re passionate about robotics and STEM concepts, so our dream is to let everyone experience that sense of accomplishment that comes from creating something out of nothing. We want people to be amazed and think “wow, I made that?”After successfully funding (and shipping) four Kickstarter campaigns, we were able to bring our passion to people worldwide. We hope you will join us in becoming future makers. 

 THE PROCESS OF CREATING AIRBLOCK

OUR TEAM

Makeblock was founded by Jasen Wang after he quit his 9 to 5 job to further his passion for robotics. He is a firm believer that life experiences lead to learning. He is passionate about the power of STEM and furthering education through robotics. With a talented staff of engineers and creative thinkers, Makeblock has become a global leader in the maker movement. Jasen and his team dream of gifting users with the knowledge and tools to take their first step into robotics, engineering and flight.
