Spark

Here is an interesting gadget concept destined for K-12 education which will help them study better thanks to its functionality. It could be called a mini-laptop as its design was inspired by a laptop and it kind of resembles the characteristics an ultra-portable.

This gadget is called Spark and it will give the pupils the opportunity to read, learn and work on this study tool and the designers say that it will increase the effectiveness of the kids because it’s supposed to help them learn faster.

Spark was designed by IDEO in collaboration with Project Inkwell and it will feature wireless networking, multimedia educational software and the possibility for the kids to share their work. The housing of the study tool can be replaced if it gets broken, as well as the keyboard and the Bluetooth-mouse.

The problem is that the Spark is only a concept and it might never see the light and another thing is that I’m not sure if we should make our kids defendant on computers, but who am I to judge other people?
