What is it?
Bloxels is an intuitive platform where students create 13-bit layouts, characters, and art for their very own interactive video game. All it takes is a Bloxels gameboard, blocks, a device, and, of course, imagination. Educators can easily integrate Bloxels into their traditional curriculum – history, geography, math, science, and language arts – all through the power of interactive storytelling.

Students start with their story idea, and create their game using the Bloxels gameboard. Then, with the Bloxels EDU app, students turn their physical creations into a digital game. In the app, they can edit and customize everything — from what it looks like to how the different elements interact and behave. Bloxels EDU encourages collaboration and creativity while guiding students through a design thinking process.
