The folks over at Wireless Goodness have a tear down from the FCC approval of the Sifteo Cubes.
Sifteo promises a “new way to play” with its cube-based gaming system, which was unveiled this year at CES. The Sifteo gaming system consists of up to six cubes, pictured above, each of which has their own tiny LCD screen, CPU, wireless transmitter and memory. Sifeto Cubes can interact with each other when placed side by side – think of it as an interactive set of dominoes – enabling users to play a wide range of highly interactive games.
Sifteo is the spawn of the Siftables Project from the MIT Media Lab. A great learning tool and some great hack potential.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
