About Brick'R'knowledge

Brick'R'knowledge is a flexible, endlessly expandable electronic plug-in system for learning, teaching, experimenting and development. The individual modules (Bricks) are connected via a four-pole hermaphroditic plug-in system that also enables three-dimensional constructions and compact circuits thanks to a dual ground return (0V). Based on open source, the system is suitable for building prototypes, for schools, vocational training and university studies as well as for maker projects. The offering includes, in addition to the Bricks, didactically prepared manuals, workbooks and teaching materials as well as a community platform with blog, forum and wiki. The brand is operated under the umbrella of ALLNET GmbH Computersysteme with headquarters in Germering near Munich; prototype development and component sourcing (including China) are part of the value chain. Fields of application lie in education (kindergarten to university), electrical engineering, engineering/R&D and IoT. The system is also suitable for high-frequency experiments.
