My sincere thanks to Ada for sponsoring my writing this week.
Tablets are great for entertaining, but wouldn’t you rather your kids had a device that isn’t just fun, but one that provides an outlet for creativity and curiosity, all while teaching them essential skills for the future?
Ada is a new computer to inspire the next generation of young digital creators, whether they’re programmers, electronic engineers, scientists, inventors or digital artists. Powered by the Raspberry Pi 3, Ada includes a collection of specially designed creative apps, as well as its very own built in microcontroller that allows experimentation with electronic circuits and creation of awesome gadgets.
Back in the 80s, with systems like the Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC, it was easy to turn on a computer and start tinkering. Sadly, modern computers don’t offer the same easy access to creativity that we enjoyed as kids. It was these frustrations that led us to create Ada.
Simply plug Ada into the nearest screen and turn it on and you’re ready to get going. Start with built in tutorials that teach you the basics, then move on to more sophisticated coding projects and share them with your friends. Ada’s microcontrollers add a whole new dimension to learning – kids love how Ada helps them begin to understand the technology that powers the world around them. See a set of traffic lights in the street, then recreate them at home with Ada’s built-in breadboard and a little bit of code to bring them to life.
Ada combines many different technologies into a single device and allows learning to take place in both a virtual, and physical environment.
We’re crowdfunding in Autumn/Fall 2016. Sign up to our mailing list or follow us on twitter to be the first to find out when our campaign launches.
Ada. For kids. For creating. For fun.
