Description

Building for the classroom

This set comes from the educational range and was meant for schools. Instead of a play theme, the idea is to build a house with sensors and control, then programme it. That fits the era when Mindstorms and its RCX brick opened up new possibilities. As a collector's item it is interesting because it shows how building bricks were once used to teach technology and computing in the classroom. Anyone interested in the history of programmable bricks gets a small piece of that era in their hands.

Unusually many different parts

The make-up stands out: 164 pieces, but 80 different kinds. Nearly every second piece is a different element, noticeably more variety than in most sets of this size. There is evidently plenty of technical and specialist material here, intended for function rather than looks. That is exactly why the parts list on this page is particularly valuable when you want to check a second-hand copy. Accordingly, take a close look when buying to see whether all the special parts are still there.

Black, white, red and light grey

The colours are sober: black and white dominate, supported by red and light grey. This suits the technical character of the set, which feels more like a learning model than a colourful toy. Red adds small accents that help tell house parts and functional elements apart. If you like clean, plain models, you get a calm colour picture here without garish tones, and one that combines well with other educational sets. If you usually build with brighter sets, this shows a deliberately restrained, functional side of the hobby.

Reusing the parts

Even though house building in the classroom is long over, many of the bricks remain versatile. Enter your inventory in “What can I build?” and Bricoria will show which models they make possible. For technical builders the many different parts are an advantage, since they allow constructions that standard bricks alone could not manage. So the set remains useful today as a source of parts. Many collectors therefore use such educational sets above all to top up their stock of special parts.
