That's cool, hope it takes off and makes it into mainstream schools/colleges as a teaching aid.

Kickstarter link to back it, though they have dominated their goal already.
Eidt: also, apparently kickstarter is now open to kiwi projects, sweet.

That's pretty clever....Right up till some fucken idiot child overloads a circuit, and his class books go up in flames of course.
Well we've had pledgeme, but it seems more focused on music/film, and obviously doesn't have the exposure of kickstarter.
You'd have to be a special sort of idiot child to light a book on fire with a coin cell or 9V batt, though thinking back to my high school days, if there is a way I'm sure the kids will find it. Personally I prefered the more tasteful pranks at high school, like sticking felt pen inners up the taps in science glass, not like any of the experiments specified the water couldn't be colored![]()

"Wearable" computers were being bandied around about 5 years ago.

A young Drew leans over to a young Bogans's desk. "Bro, gimme your battery for a minute". Young drew does this with four other students also.
With some carefully placed tape and light bulbs, the young Drew is shortly thereafter explaining to officials why he didn't think turning the bunsen tap on was likely to cause quite 'that big' an explosion.
Haha, yeh, it would go something like that. But to be fair, that is hardly a problem inherent in the product. Do they still have always on gas in classrooms? I figure in current climates the place would be legislated to have a master off valve teach must only turn on when they need it...
