Playdate

Playdate is familiar, but unlike anything you've ever seen. It has a very special black and white screen – not backlit, but super reflective – that looks way more amazing than you're probably imagining. An exploded view of the internals of a Playdate device. It also has a peppy little processor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (coming soon), and a surprisingly loud loudspeaker. And when you're not using it, the screen doesn't turn off – it becomes a very nice low-power clock!

Playdate's simplicity and scope make it perfect for teaching programming and game design. With Playdate, students create real, playable games on a device they can hold in their hands. Students can code on their computers, test out the game on a Playdate, then go back to fine-tune. It’s experiential, project-based, learning-by-doing at its very best.
