Every child learns music differently, so MAGICUBE makes the lesson tangible. It's an intelligent teaching aid — semi-autonomous, block-based — that guides children to perform a complete piece of music through play.

Embedded electronics (Arduino, Makey-Makey, Uno WiFi) turn 3D-printed blocks into interactive instruments, and connected apps extend the experience into customized courses for home, school, and beyond. Awarded at the China–US Young Maker Competition.
