Do you remember the thrill of putting together your first Meccano project or Lego construction? Microbric is ready to bring that thrill to a whole new, more technical-savvy generation – a generation which has grown up with personal computers; a generation which is looking for more challenges than simply putting something together. They’re wanting things that work!

It’s now much more than "the thrill of the build" – though that is still important. They want something that will impress family and friends. They want something that won’t sit on the shelf when it is finished, because it does something... and then can be used over and over.

What they are looking for is Microbric, an Australian-made, brand new concept.

But what is Microbric?

Microbric is a patented system of interconnecting electronic modules, enabling constructors to build, with just a screwdriver, an impressive range of devices.

Like Lego and Meccano construction kits they are challenged into building things. The difference is that every Microbric project is alive!

At the core of the system is the reusable Microbric Edge and connector "bric" which has three conductors supplying 5V, ground and data. The plastic bric is used to connect two Microbric Edges together (either side-by-side or stacked) then use clamping screws and spacers to not only hold them together, but complete the electrical and data circuits.
