Playful Invention Company or Pico just released its "PicoBoard" which is a cool way to interface with the easy to learn programming environment "Scratch". Just like Lego Mindstorms, the Picoboard has all kinds of sensors and inputs but instead of creating a robot that interacts with its environment with the Picoboard you can write stories and games that interact with the real world. For example you could turn the pages of your story by blowing on the sound sensor. Or you could create a pressure pad so when someone sits down in front of the computer screen, the story begins. We can't wait to test one out!
