This Drool-Worthy $99 Kit Lets Kids Build Their Own Computers | Wired Design

See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

A computer kit that’s fun enough to hold kids’ attentions, but smart enough to actually teach them something.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

This is a cool teaching concept for kids to learn more about computing–both from the hardware and software perspectives. The idea was to create something that could be fun like a toy, but a teachable object.

If someone wants to get one of these for me for Christmas, it would make me happy! I wish we had stuff like this when I was a kid. I’d probably share this with my son, since the site talks about using this in conjunction with Minecraft, which is something my son LOVES.
