well, since i was _asked_... Labo looks great! It's a great toy, really smart use of repurposing the joycons (and the infrared camera which previously didn't have a use!!!). and uses cardboard really well - decorate it yourself! repair it! let kids loose on it! @Eastmad/953968244666314752Permalink Look on archive.org

but: Labo is a really fun toy, but I don't think it's more educational than just... cardboard. maybe a tiny bit? but it's about FUN not STEM (and not making Makers). i mean, creation is fun, but the point is the fun, not the creation.Permalink Look on archive.org
