Kids can learn how to code while having a blast

Things like the Apple Watch, FitBit, and Android Wear aren't very appealing to a young child. But this wearable made by Technology Will Save Us aims to change that.

The new wearable is called Mover Kit and is available on Kickstarter for $45! TechnoBuffalo says, "It comes totally unassembled, with a round circuit board and a second disc covered in LED lights." Once assembled it changes the LED's colors based on how you move the device. All you need to do to activate Mover Kit is shake the device, the harder you shake the more colors. The technology behind this is only an accelerometer, which is in every wearable, but not usually talked about.

As well as the normal band, it also comes with a "slap bracelet and a lanyard so you can attach the device to pretty much anything." According to TechnoBuffalo. So, you're probably thinking ok, that's cool but what about the coding? That's where the built-in software comes in. Using an app on your desktop, you can program the bracelet to change color when you do anything the accelerator can recognize.

For example, If you wanted it to go rainbow when you jump, you can easily program that on the app, all this happens when your having fun and your child will learn the basics of programming while doing it.

This product is available on KickStarter now for 45$ shipping in October, but when those shipments run out, you will need to pay 65$ and not receive it until November. What do you think of this unique wearable? Let us know in the comments below!
