Hackaball, A Smart Glowing Ball With Sensors That Kids Can Program to Play Different Games

Hackaball is a smart, glowing ball that’s designed to be programmed by kids via an iPad to play a variety of fully customizable games. The project, which is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, was created to encourage both an interest in programming as well as good, old-fashioned physical activity.

They’ve used Hackaball as props in plays, asked it questions like a magic 8 ball, woken up to it as an alarm clock and even pranked some parents by making it into a whoopee cushion!
