"Using a space-themed app, kids write if-then rules, learning the syntax of basic coding. An example: if you drop a ball, then it turns red. Or if the ball hits something, then it will make a noise. These games can be as complicated or as simple as kids want."
"The Hackaball is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, where you can preorder the toy for $69."
