by Catherine
We predict it’s gonna be this generations’ version of the Rubik Cube, delighting kids and adults alike. We couldn’t find where to buy this 3D didactic puzzle so we’re guessing it’s not yet available.
Innovation Week: The Scope Camera
by Catherine
Not yet available, but inspiring nevertheless. This is a prototype camera for kids. There is no screen or viewfinder so the photographer interacts directly with the subject. There is no hiding behind the camera. A built-in stand and mirror allows for self-portraits.
