Techucational

It was inevitable: wordsmiths had to create a word which describes playthings that blur the lines between playing and learning.

As kids opened their Christmas presents several months ago, techucational took the form of robot labs, coding games and all types of boxed experiments. As a result, even preschoolers are well-schooled in the basics of coding.

The trend toward growing these mad young scientists shows no sign of slowing, even as seasonal techucational playthings and games are being launched for summer fun (and learning!)
