Fisher Price Code-a-Pillar
There’s no denying that learning to code is becoming less of a choice and more of a must. While some elementary and middle schools have started implementing coding classes, Fisher Price introduced a $50 toy this year to targeted towards a much younger demographic: preschoolers. The Code-a-Pillar isn’t going to have your toddler writing iPhone apps, but it will teach her some of the basic ideas behind creating code using its interchangeable parts. That way when she does have that million-dollar idea, she’ll have leg up on learning how to build it.

Oculus Rift
The consumer version of Oculus Rift is finally headed our way. Facebook used CES as an opportunity to announce consumer availability and pricing for the VR headset. Unlike some other virtual reality devices on the market that use smartphones for the display, Rift has its own built-in display designed specifically for VR. The Facebook-owned device has a high refresh rate, allowing users to become fully immersed in the virtual world. Available now for $599, the headset ships with a sensor for motion tracing as well as an Xbox One controller.
