The new modeling is far more laptop - like than the original CrowPi and if the Kickstarter is to be believe you ’ll be able to play arcade games and even interact with beginner IDEs using the entire complement of remark , reserve you to toy Flappy Bird with the touch sensor and measure sound level using the built - in mike and LED array . Because this does n’t front like a toy , I suspect parent will have an easier time convincing their younglings not to underprice this onto the floor like they do every other STEM product .

The canonical model cost about $ 210 for early birds . If you figure out how to make music with a cumquat , do let us know .
