They're presenting it as a "intro to electronics" device. I think they've missed though, as far as I'm concerned, learning to build a "nLab" equivalent device from a bare AVR MCU would be a far more informative and useful introduction then yet another "Babies First blink.c" kit.

Even worse, a fully formed lesson plan, parts, and prerecorded lessons could actually be worth $200. Unlike this widget, which is not worth half that.
