Technology is our future. Guess what? Children are also our future. So how do we maximize this potential? Sony might have the answer. Coding kids: Sony inspires the next generation.
Sony’s new toy is Koov. These are Lego-style blocks. But these blocks teach kids about computer coding. Hence, these blocks could train them into coding kids. Consequently, this all came from Sony Global Education. Koov also teaches kids how to make robots. Unlike Lego blocks, Koov blocks have sensors. These sensors come alive, guiding them as kids craft their creation. When these coding kids finish, they connect their model to a computer. Afterwards, kids use codes to make these structures move around and come to life.
These blocks can build anything, from animals to trucks. When coded, these structures do everything, from clap to chew to ride around. Sony isn’t the first company to create toys for coding kids. But Sony’s toys might be the most effective. Koov won a Good Design Gold Award. Now, they’re using Koov to educate poor and refugee children on coding. This is a global effort. But if your coding kids want Koov, it will cost a bit. In the US, a Koov kit will run about $325. An advance kit will run about $440.
But if you ask me, that’s a good investment for children. Many devices and games cost just as much, if not more. And ask yourself, “How is this going to benefit my child’s future?” In many cases, they probably won’t. But you can know Koov will. This isn’t a promotion. But I’m happy to see a toy on the market that will inspire the next generation of IT service and computer repair. Look at the crises of American education, especially in computer technology. And our whole future depends on computer technology. In fact, many workers fear their jobs will be threatened by robots in the near future. Let’s prepare the next generation now. And Sony Koov helps do that. I’d like to see Koov used in schools all over the US, especially in low-income neighborhoods. Would you buy your child a Sony Koov?
