@petecashmore While I kept warning excited parents and kids that "Nooo, it's not for small kids!" 😂 I guess with proper guidance they can learn a lot!

Interesting. Are the parts of the shell plastic or some kind of metal?

@dspjm It's successfully funded (11 times the original goal!) on Kickstarter and continues on Indiegogo: igg.me/at/bittle. We will first provide English instructions then translate them into other languages.
