What Are Pico Crickets?

• A PicoCricket is a tiny computer that can make
  things spin, light up, and play music.
• You can plug lights, motors, sensors, and other
  devices into a PicoCricket, then program them to
  react, interact, and communicate.
• For example, you can make a cat and program it to
  purr when someone pets it. Or you can make a
  birthday cake and program it to play a song when
  someone blows out the candles.
• The PicoCricket Kit is similar to the LEGO
  MINDSTORMS robotics kits. MINDSTORMS is designed
  especially for making robots, while the
  PicoCricket Kit is designed for making artistic
  creations with lights, sound, music, and motion.
