Want to get your kid started in the wonderful world of engineering? The BigShot digital camera kit might come in handy, as the product excerpt states below.
The camera gives us a powerful means to express ourselves and communicate with each other. Today, the camera is almost exclusively designed for, and marketed to, adults. A typical consumer digital camera comes with a sleek silver or black exterior and is densely packed with components and features. If one tries to open up one of these devices to study its innards, it is unlikely to function when put back together. We believe that camera manufacturers have largely overlooked an important demographic in kids and a compelling application in education.
Too bad the camera isn’t up for sale at the moment since field tests are still being carried out, but at least this is a step in the right direction.
