Description

Learning with bricks

Dacta was the education arm of the manufacturer, aimed at schools and learning environments. This set falls into that area and, going by its name, is meant to make the idea of control tangible, that is, how movement and processes are directed. The facts say little more, which is why the parts list is worth a look. At 230 pieces it is not a huge box but more of a set for lessons, or for tinkerers who want to add technology to their builds.

Yellow and red for the classroom

Yellow and red give the set its colour, with light grey and black alongside. It is a bold, clear mix of the kind often found in learning sets: the parts are easy to tell apart and sort. Those 230 pieces include 74 different kinds, which is plenty of variety for the quantity. If you take the set apart, you find bricks, plates and special parts that also work well in other projects, so little of it is wasted once the lesson is over.

Two figures as companions

Two minifigures come with the set. They can play students, operators or passers-by and help put a model in perspective: how big is the machine compared with a person? In learning scenes, figures are useful because they show what a structure is for. This page lists which figure parts are included. They can of course also be placed into other builds that you put together next to this set, whether classroom or street.

Rare and good for rebuilding

Educational sets from 1993 are now more for collectors than for playroom shelves. Use “What can I build?” to check whether you can put the control system together from your existing parts and what is still missing. The many kinds of part help here, because many of them can be reused in other models. If you only need a few individual pieces, you will find them quickly in the list and can search for exactly those.
