NEWS$show=/search/label/news

Here's where you'll find all the latest news about technology for children. We love to follow cool new inventions on Kickstarter and we hunt out all the latest announcements about tech toys and gadgets for the coming Christmas holidays. You'll also get our take on children's technology stories in the media.

REVIEWS$show=/search/label/review

Our kids technology product reviews are intended to help you work out whether a toy, gadget or kit is a good fit for your child or family. There's lots of cool stuff available, but is it the right choice for the child or teenager that you are buying for? We'll help you make the right choices and get the best value for money.

GIFT GUIDES$show=/search/label/gift%20guide

Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends assemble. We create gift lists to help you make good choices for kids technology which helps them develop the right skills for the future. We research the best in Coding Toys and Games, Making / Craft Tools and Kits, STEM/STEAM related gifts, Programmable Robots, Electronics Kits and Gadgets for Tech Age Kids and Teens.

PROJECTS$show=/search/label/project

Get crafty with technology. Here we'll post all our ideas and projects using technology to get creative and making with kids. You'll find anything from making a lemon battery to a glow-in-the-dark Minecraft sword. Our projects are tried and tested on our own kids or at events we run, so we are sure you can have a go at home with your kids. Some of our projects use specific tech gadgets which we provide links for you to purchase.

STEM$show=/search/label/stem

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In recent years there is an increased focus in these areas of study. We like to include Art and Design too, so we often talk about STEAM (A stands for Art). At Tech Age Kids we believe Coding is a new literacy and children need to understand how technology works, practice making skills and grow in their curiosity to make a better future for us all.

CODING$show=/search/label/coding

Coding is increasingly being recognised as an important skill for children to learn. Some will learn to code at school or at a coding club, but it's brilliant if they get support at home too.

ELECTRONICS$show=/search/label/electronics

We think it's really important for kids to get hands-on with electronics and learn how to make circuits and write code to control hardware. Younger kids can start with conductive playdough. For kids who like to combine craft and tech, littleBits are fab. And we love SAM Labs wireless electronics components for making it easy for kids to make Internet of Things inventions. Lots of electronics kits for kids have support for the Arduino microprocessor environment. The DuinoKit Jr is one of our favourites. Arduino is a fab skill for older kids and teens to develop.

ROBOTICS$show=/search/label/robotics

We love robots at Tech Age Kids, especially programmable ones. We've got lots of them and write reviews and projects that use them. Our programmable robots for kids buying guide is a good place to start if you're not sure what's available. Roby the mBot Meccano robot dog is one of our popular projects and has been with us to lots of events. Our Ozobot LEGO trailer is fab for kids who love LEGO and robots.

MAKING AND CRAFT$show=/search/label/making

We're advocates of the creative use of technology, but this needs to be balanced with developing physical skills such as papercraft, woodwork, clay modelling, technical drawing and soldering. If children don't develop these skills as they grow up then physical making projects can become frustrating rather than fun. The Maker Community uses the term 'making' as a broad term to include all sorts of artisan skills or craft activities. Being able to make things can lead to life-long hobbies or even careers. It's a great feeling to be able to take a project from an idea in your head to a real object that does something. We're particularly interested to explore products that combine maker skills with tech skills such as electronics but others focus purely on the physical making skills that are still important to modern making.

InnoTab 3S with Wifi

Thursday, 18 July 2013 Edit this post
We predicted that there would be a new InnoTab 3S device with Wifi for 2013, and there is. The previously announced InnoTab 3 is a new smaller format more portable version of the popular kids learning tablet. The 3S version adds Wifi support, a 5" screen and additional features. 

This time the Wifi isn't just for downloading and syncing content, kids will have access to other Wifi-enabled features including controlled web access.

(Updated with new information.)

New features of the InnoTab 3S include:
  1. Kid Connect: Text, voice and picture messaging between parents (on a smart phone) and children (on the InnoTab 3S). The text messaging sounds like a great way to get kids writing (my older son loves typing notes on his InnoTab.)
  2. Access to kid-safe websites that have been approved to play games and access information. This opens up a lot of new possibilities for a wider variety of content that can be accessed from the device.
Kids will also be able to use the camera and video camera access apps. The camera is likely to be the improved 2MP camera that was introduced in the InnoTab 3 model (2MP camera now confirmed.)

And kids will have access to a range of educational games and apps on cartridge and via download from the VTech Learning Lodge.

The InnoTab 3S actually has a different design to the InnoTab 3. The camera is on the longer edge on the 3S model. The InnoTab 3 is a cheaper and lighter model whereas the 3S has high end features.

The screen size on the InnoTab 3S is 5" (the same as on the 2S, but larger than the 3.) The InnoTab 3S comes with a rechargeable battery pack so you don't have to worry about replacing batteries.

The InnoTab 3S comes in blue and pink designs (I'd love to see some variety here!) 

I'll do a full comparison of the InnoTab 3 and 3S when we have more information.



The InnoTab 3S is now the top of the range educational tablet from VTech and has a recommended retail price of $99.99 in the US.
