Their first product, ATOMS, is a system of plug-n-play sensors, motors, and action blocks for kids (and anyone) to add interactive functionality to their creations. ATOMS are fun, fast and don't require any electronics or programming skills to get going. ATOMS work seamlessly with LEGO and other toys, can be sewn or velcro-ed onto fabrics, or bolted onto more permanent creations. ATOMS work with iOS devices (Android soon), so users can control their ATOMS from their iPhone/iPod/iPad, and can also inversely control their iPhone from ATOMS. ATOMS are sold through starter sets that show kids what each ATOM does through already-popular play experiences (imaginary characters and kid-scale play). However, we expect kids' interest in ATOMS to outlast the starter-set themes, as they go onto use ATOMS in their own creations. ATOMS can also be bought individually for the "from-scratch" project doer, and we will be releasing a new ATOM every month to serve our enthusiastic repeat customers.
