I love this! Not only will you learn how to make an electronic device but you get to program it and lean how games work. You can download some pre made games too, a maze game, the classic pong, and even a music maker. These should be part of every schools electronics class! At less than $100US each they would be an easy buy for even summer programs. There are even photos of a bunch of Korean grade school kids showing off their Mignons on the site.
The “Mignon Game Kit” is a kitset which enables a minimalist “Gameboy” to be individually designed, programmed and constructed. Workshops and online instructions enable advanced learners to invent and programme their own games. In this way the do-it-yourself console of the “Mignon Game Kit” provides not only the opportunity for basic experiments with micro-electronics for first time users but can also be used as a platform for individual computer games. As opposed to conventional Gameboys the user develops a personal relationship to his device through the processes of self-production and individually determined programming.
