We are attending FETC and when we go to the tech conferences we attempt to predict what will be some of product themes. Evaluation, common core referenced resources, whiteboards and short throw projects were possibilities, but we predicted 3-D printers and STEM products. Computational thinking is in, but it is difficult to sell programming as a product.<\/p>\n

Here is one of the first interesting things we saw. This is a robot kit from Hummingbird Robotics<\/a> that offers components (sensors, motors, Raspberry Pi) that can be used to create multiple devices. The robot can be programmed using several “languages” allowing students of different ages to develop programming skills at different levels of sophistication. The price is $200.<\/p>\n
