GET THEM BOTH
FOR KIDS, SENIOR EE’S...
With two buttons and an LED, the original CE for Babies book explores basic computer logic gates, including NOT, OR, AND, XOR and a Latch. The book uses light sensors to detect which page is open and change the operands accordingly.
Please take a moment to ask yourself honestly if you:
-
have a baby
-
are planning on having a baby
-
are interested in computer engineering
-
will be attending a baby shower in the next 1-6 months
-
have a friend that looks like they might have a baby
-
are planning to be interested in computer engineering
-
know a computer engineer that acts like a baby
-
skipped the first two days of CE150
-
are learning how to read
If you fall into any of these categories, then you should definitely get a few of these.
AND BIG BABIES!
CE for Big Babies is the next step in continuing education, and putting you and your kids in the good graces of the General AI that is sure to take over the world. The book picks up where the original CE for Babies left off. And, like the first book, it's way too short with six pages.
Buttons are old and boring. You know what is new and exciting? Switches. Similar to the buttons in the first book, this book has nice large switches that kids can flip easily, have great tactile feedback, and are just fun!
You might have thought one LED was a good time. Just wait until you see all the learning that happens when we quintuple the light count!

Probably one of the few books that don't really matter if you're reading it upside down. #engineering

Books going out worldwide. Thank you @a_rolinska in Poland!

COME UP WITH THIS?
When my oldest was a year old, he would demand that I hold him in the air so he could flip the light switches. Each time he flipped the switch, he would jerk his head around to check the room and confirm that the lights had successfully toggled. He would have done it for hours if my arms had the strength.
This book is inspired by my sons' curiosity, and a hope that I might be able fuel that curiosity, and keep them entertained without having to suspend them in the air to toggle light switches.
FAQs
Go for the Original. If your kid loves it, then get the second one.
The book takes a coincell (CR2032) battery that is secured with a screw. The battery should last 3-5 years.
If you can't get the AND page to light up. Try pressing both buttons at the same time.
If two of the internal pages are acting the same, then the most likely cause is that one of the holes didn't get punched out all the way. You should be able to just finish punching it out with a pencil.
Otherwise, reach out to me via email or through the contact-us page and I'll get you squared away with a replacement.
For the original CE for Babies, the target age range is around 1-5
years.
And the target age range for the "BIg Babies" book is around 2-7.
Obviously, the older kids are, the more they will try and figure
out the patterns of how each page works, and younger kids are just
flipping switches to see lights change.
I also hear a lot of adults enjoy it as well. 🕺

Customer Reviews
Not only the toy is amazing but I had a little issue and immediately got replaced ! Wonderful I will buy next level :)
My daughter loves the book. Just wish there were a few more pages
This book has been so much fun for my 18-month-old. He loves pressing the buttons on each page and he keeps himself busy figuring out how each one works. I’m also very impressed with their customer service— our book had been damaged in shipping and they responded quickly to resolve the issue. Thank you so much!
It is a very well thought out book to introduce children to boolean concepts in electronics and instigate their curiosity. What's better than buttons and lights? It also feels like premium material and a good craftsmanship. The only thing that we've noticed to be a bit off was this flinkering LED depending on page position of our copy, but that may be very well due to the "careful handling" that our customs provide to packages that are screened to have a paid duty in order to be released.
