Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation – and Seed Interactive have announced that StarBlox Inc. will release on Nintendo Switch this month.

“As science communicators, Ingenium is proud to create digital experiences that reach beyond the four walls of our Museums,” explains Ingenium president and CEO Christina Tessier.
