since when was coding this cool introducing the latest advancement in the field of fun meet Cody bot designed by Meg block this smart robot teaches kids the basics in computer programming using a simple graphic programming language similar to MIT scratch you can give the robot a series of commands but then immediately see the magic happen this provides a safe and easy introduction of the language and mindset of computer programmers in free play mode you can just start playing every spin grin dance and silly voice naturally teaches coding skills you can customize code eva in so many ways or care to cody bots together for battle mode may the best Cody Botwin Cody bond is an open platform to learn explore and discover equip your child with the fundamentals they need to thrive in the age of robotics with Cody body let's program the fun since when was coding this cool so y'see cookies this robot was designed from the ground up to help developing engineers learn about programming math and electronics by solving concrete problems that they can relate to you in real life it comes in a flat-pack bundle of wood hardware electronics and you build and program it yourself when you work with your zero beast you're not just programming a box with a screen you're building and controlling the actions and behavior of the physical thing that resembles a living organism with beautiful kinematics and locomotion inspired by tayo'y onsens genius leg linkage design and unlike some of the other kits out there it isn't a closed in opaque system it's meant to be tangible and tactile you're encouraged to take it apart hack it build new attachments and make it physically interact with you in the world around you we will guide you from the very basics all the way to having a fully fledged robotic pet companion we provide lesson plans videos and even physical copies if you'd like that will teach you or your kid how to do all of these awesome things with their Arduino core array of sensors it's sound pack and the full range of add-ons and you can tap into what you can do with your super beast is limited only by what you can imagine it can free and welcoming when you come home I can fetch your slippers in the morning you can bark at intruders coming into your room or scurry away from bright lights into the corner if you even go on covert missions to the neighbor's backyard using his fpv camera or you can play with your friends and classmates using a pack of Zebedee's so you can play capture the flag let's rout a fittest Freeman race to the maze we already launched one successful Kickstarter for the ziggo beast classic a fully mechanical version powered by Springs using the equipment that we had here at TechShop Pittsburgh along with Autodesk fusion 360 3d design software we successfully delivered all of our rewards in fact we delivered ahead of schedule what we found out was that people loved the intricacy of the design and they loved the aspect that zeger be served wooden and nature friendly but most of all they loved the fact that all of our machines were made right here in her hometown this is where we got started with robotics after all that's one of our primary goals to give back to this community we've already started working with the local public school system to introduce more kids to robotics with zebra beasts but we also want to keep manufacturing inner-city and contribute to the economic development and innovation that's been happening here we believe that robotics is the future our dream was to create an instrument that lets you make music from nothing just pick a sound play notes and make loops we have revolutionized the way to see music by putting notes that sound good together next to each other an instrument you can play where you want when you want and how you want no need for computer everything is included inside you can add your own sound play life covers our original compositions in your own style learn how to play let the lights Kaiji echo is a revolutionary new audio device that enables your existing headphones or speakers to receive wireless Wi-Fi on yo from any source each user simply takes a battery-powered sound pop from the base station and plugs in any pair of headphones the result instant - a wireless audio for the whole family most wireless headphone systems are bulky and expensive and often designed for only one user we designed echo because we believe everyone should be able to use their headphones or speakers to enjoy a phenomenal wireless listening experience echo is specifically designed to accommodate multiple users up to four or more can listen together at the same time it's built-in Wi-Fi technology delivers high quality ultra-low latency sound for a real-time listening experience it's perfect for movies music gaming and more echo delivers a highly customized listening experience that's designed to fit each user's preference each sound puck has individual volume controls while the smart mobile app controls equalizer settings streaming settings and more it even has parental controls like volume limiting to help ensure safe listening for kids we designed echo because we wanted to create a high quality social wireless listening experience that our expensive wireless headphones simply couldn't provide we wanted something powerful enough to create an audiophile grade listening experience it's simple enough for the whole family to enjoy something that untether is you that allows you more freedom and better range in Bluetooth or our and when we couldn't find it we decided to build it over the past year our in-house team is prototype 2 working proof of concept created an elegant beautiful industrial design and laid out a development roadmap for finishing the consumer ready device we've teamed up with world-class designers and engineers and lineup suppliers and manufacturing partners capable of producing echo to our high standards we designed echo to complement your existing entertainment accessories echo offers each user individual control of their own listening experience it was thoughtfully designed to look great in any setting fireflies are enchanting when I was a boy I loved catching fireflies I would go out into a field with a mason jar holes in the lid and I catch a Firefly put it inside and I have a chance to observe beautiful soft leathery wings not like the hard wings and most beetles but I knew I had to let it go it was trapped then I learned something amazing every Firefly species that flashes flashes its own unique flash code and I thought if I could emulate these flash codes maybe I can talk to fireflies so I created this Firefly communicator you press the button and it caught the fireflies they come right to you the other night in my home in Brooklyn New York I looked out the window and I saw fireflies in the backyard I went to the window opened it up sat in the sill with the Firefly communicator and I started calling to them it wasn't long before one came right over it dimmed its signal and then it even landed on the communicator it really works I'm Joey Stein for my entire career including six years at the American Museum of Natural History I have been creating interactive experiences that connect all of us to science and the natural world now after more than 18 months of developing and prototyping I've come up with this Firefly communicating device you can use the communicator right out of the box it comes with an app that allows you to download Firefly languages or flash codes you can even make your own flash codes this is an exciting opportunity because not all flash codes are known with this device you can even advance science all you do is place the Firefly communicator directly on the screen press upload in an exciting parallel to actual fireflies the code is transmitted by light from your screen to the sensor at the bottom of the communicator Lenna playing screen the upload was successful and you're ready to speak to a new Firefly species my goal is to produce the first Firefly communicators this summer when fireflies are most active to do this I need your help your funds will go to fine-tuning the app and producing the first Firefly communicators please join me with your support we will all be speaking Firefly for the first time ever in June for those of you who don't know Edward o Wilson is one of the world's most prominent naturalist he's the Darwin of our day and he endorsed the Firefly communicator in fact he wrote me an email I'm happy to endorse the proposed Firefly educational tool to learn about these amazing little beetles their lives and their Morse code like communication is just the kind of experience I would have enjoyed as a boy first forming my lifelong interest in insects and nature we need these flashy beetles and they need us to protect their habitats please contribute when we first caught that Firefly in a jar it sparked a curiosity it began a relationship now we can deepen that relationship we can talk we can communicate
