I'm not convinced. So you assemble a few bits of plastic but the bit that forms the image is a slab of electronics. Hmm...

BBC News - Bigshot DIY camera aims to teach kids tech basics

I saw this on the news this morning looks pretty cool plus the fact its got different lenses, wonder what sensor it uses.

"It's about getting kids' hands dirty,"

I don't think so. (Give them an old car to work on if you want them to get their hands dirty.)

And after the underprivileged children take the pictures they they will put them on their i-Pads and laptops. Wait,...[doh]

I'm with you on this one, Pete.

Ha! Great find Pete,

But what an utter load of tosh!
They've totally got the principal wrong.

Now I understand the moral of keeping up with today's society of modern tech etc, and it's hard not to at times.
But this is most certainly not getting hands dirty.

Not quite convinced on this one, although I'm sure children would love it regardless.
