Coding, as cool as it is, went way over my head in college. If I had Algobrix as a kid, that may not have been the case.

These futuristic Lego-like blocks’ true potential can be unlocked through the complex magic of coding. Using special blocks that simulate different lines and functions of code, kids can program their Lego-like creations to do just about anything. With a snap of a finger, a dinosaur can start to walk. Flip a switch to make a whole carnival come to life.

Educational and fun, Algobrix can teach kids — and maybe even college students who are neck deep in programming — the wonders of coding through playtime.

Check out the Kickstarter and drop a donation if you feel so inclined.

He has previously written for Adventure Publishing Group with toy and movie reviews as well as Anime News Network on anime interest articles because liking anime is the least nerdy thing about him. When not reviewing products, he's probably doing sociological analyses on pop culture that no one asked for. He has been told on several occasions that he does a really good Mickey Mouse impression.
