An ESP32 building block kit with a large AI model module for voice and vision, coded in Scratch or Python.

ESP32
Suggested for primary
Suggested for secondary

DaDablock AI is a programmable building block kit for young learners, built around an ESP32 controller and the WonderLLM large AI model module. The module gives builds AI vision and voice: face recognition, colour tracking, smart chat, voice control and visual scene understanding, with support for Qwen, DeepSeek and Doubao. Hiwonder publishes 32 official builds in three levels (16 Starter, 8 Standard and 8 Advanced), from bionic robots and machines to smart home models and games, with more than 50 step-by-step tutorials. Learners program in Scratch blocks or Python.

Zeta42 is an authorised Hiwonder partner in the Middle East.

What it does

Built for.

WonderLLM AI module
The module has a 2MP HD camera, a Hi-Fi speaker, a capacitive LCD touchscreen and an I2C port. It switches between expression, chat and clock modes, and works online and offline: offline, it still recognises colours on command.
Large models in the builds
Builds hold a conversation, describe what is in front of them, take on customisable AI personalities and voices, and link spoken requests to their sensors, such as switching on a fan when it gets warm.
Kit contents
Every kit has the ESP32 controller, the WonderLLM module and a dot matrix module. The Standard Kit adds a fan and a second motor and servo, and the Advanced Kit adds a glowing ultrasonic sensor, a light sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor and a 4-channel line follower.
ESP32 controller
The controller has ports for sensors and motors, a built-in buzzer and RGB lighting, and two 18650 battery slots on the back with a protection chip against overcharging.
Fits standard LEGO parts
Modules match standard LEGO parts in interface and size and join with pins rather than screws. Side and bottom holes line up with LEGO Technic parts, and every module uses the same 4-pin plug.
Scratch and Python
Learners start with block-based programming in WonderCode and move on to Python in the Hiwonder Python Editor.
