Toy maker LeapFrog has created a watered down version of what every adult seems to be playing with today – a fitness tracker. Called the LeapBand, it motivates kids to jump around and be more active. But do parents really need to be tracking their kids while they play?

Knowing how to code is an increasingly important skill, but getting a young child enthusiastic about programming isn’t easy. Can gamifying the education process with toy robots help create a new generation of computer scientists?

More than 7,000 pupils in 25 countries are learning with Classcraft, a platform that turns classrooms into MMORPGs. With the average young person in the US spending at least 10,000 hours playing online games by the age of 21, it seems like a logical move for education. But does gamification work for everyone?
