Developing technology to make play more accessible, inclusive and fun.
Introducing Braille Blocks by Playable Technology – an innovative app designed to support tactile learning with LEGO® Braille Bricks. Using your iPhone or iPad, the app recognizes letter, number, and musical note patterns, responding in real time with speech or sound. In Braille Mode, learners can build and hear words and numbers, while Music Mode turns the bricks into musical notes. Designed for accessibility and engagement, Braille Blocks is a powerful educational tool for educators, learners, and families. Get in touch to learn more.
We had a brilliant time returning to the MOVE Summit in February, sharing our mobile BeatBlocks Studio setup for attendees to dive in and build beats. The compact iPad and speaker setup made for an engaging, hands-on experience. It was great to connect with so many creative minds, and we even discovered the work of animator Norman McLaren, a true pioneer in experimental sound. Thanks to everyone who stopped by—we’re excited to follow up on all the conversations and creations!
We’re excited to introduce the BeatBlocks Studio Lesson Plan Generator, a free AI-powered tool that helps music educators create custom lesson plans. Designed to support a range of music skills like composition and performance, it allows teachers to align lessons with key learning objectives using the BeatBlocks Studio app. It's still a work in progress, and we're looking for testers to provide feedback and help us improve the tool. Try it out today and share your thoughts!
