The new Fisher-Price Think & Learn SmartCycle feels like part of an inevitable future, where everything has to be smart and connected. It gives us mixed feelings though, giving kids even more screen time but it’s also a fact that kids are spending more time staring at screens than moving. What the SmartCycle hopes to achieve is to educate, entertain, and get kids moving. The machine comes with four different apps meant to teach subjects like math, STEM, science, social studies, and reading. They get to interact with the games by pedaling and steering. Aside from the included apps, there will be others available for download for US$5 each. It’s expected to arrive in the US in the fall for US$150 (close to CA$200).
