Lucyd Bluetooth Sunglasses

Lucyd was founded in 2017 by Harrison Gross, David Eric Cohen, and Konrad Dabrowski, a dedicated trio of tech entrepreneurs passionate about upgraded eyewear. Early on, they observed that there wasn’t a single pair of prescription glasses on the market that had smart features, that also addressed the human need to see clearly and comfortably. So they made them. In the process came the Lucyd Bluetooth sunglasses.

Meet Lyte, a new generation of smart eyewear from Lucyd. These patent-pending Bluetooth frames offer a unique mix of designer styling, vision correction, protection and smart features. Sharp open-ear playback with flush speakers in each arm. The largest volume range yet, supporting clear listening in noisy environments. Noise-cancelling mic for calls and voice assistant. Two buttons on the arms enable a selection of high-utility touch controls, including call answering, play/pause, track skip, volume adjustment and voice assistant activation. Bluetooth 5.0 - Connect to most phones, PCs, and smartwatches within a 50-foot range. New easy-to-use USB magnetic charging cable with wall adapter. Glasses automatically turn on and begin pairing when disconnected from charger. Rock out all day with 6-8 hours of playback per 2 hour charge. 160 hour standby connection time. A typical user who listens to 1 hour of music per day will only need to charge their glasses once a week or so.

Comes standard with UV400 polarized sun lenses with light mirroring. Select your custom lens to have them installed by the Lucyd lab, or order extra lenses to be included separately. Unit includes reusable folding box, flat-folding case, cable, wall adapter, cleaning cloth and quick-start guide. These are light and comfortable, just like a normal pair of shades, but with all the cool tech. And it was not hard to figure out how to use them. Plus they are stylish. Jason likes them as well, so they are universal for man or woman.

Planet Buddies - Olive The Owl Headphones & Speaker

Planet Buddies has created a range of kids headphones, Bluetooth speakers, and holders for tablets based on a variety of colorful characters who represent endangered, vulnerable, and threatened species from all over the world. Planet Buddies is dedicated to raising awareness for endangered animals all over the world. The goal is to educate children about the issues that threaten animals with extinction. This includes loss of habitat, global warming, and harmful substances ending up in our oceans. The aim is to share knowledge and inspire change in our future generations to help protect all life on our planet.

We chose Olive the Owl headphones and the speaker, because I love owls, and she is so cute! Here is some info about her: I’m Olive the Owl. I live in forests and farmlands! I depend on my habitat having plenty of trees for me to nest in so I can sleep all day and come out at night. Zzzzz. The forests also help me to keep my eggs safe high up in the trees so I can protect them from danger. But deforestation is causing our home to be destroyed. How you can help:

- Use a reusable bottle or mug for your drinks

- If there are no bins nearby, take your rubbish with you

- Plant trees and flowers, they keep our air clean

- Spread the word!

Olive the Owl Bluetooth Speakers are perfect for listening to music or reading along to your favorite audiobook. The Olive the Owl Bluetooth speaker allows you to enjoy up to 4-hours of total playtime; with an impressive 60-day standby time. Connect wirelessly to any Bluetooth 5.0 compatible device including tablets and smartphones. When connected to your smartphone, the Olive the Owl Bluetooth speaker allows you to answer and end calls at the touch of a button, while the built-in microphone lets you talk hands-free. The multi-speaker pairing function allows you to connect the Olive the Owl speaker with any other wireless Planet Buddies Bluetooth speaker to achieve a full surround-sound effect. The Bluetooth speaker is designed in exquisite, adorable detail with Olive’s own unique story printed on the packaging to help educate children on the environmental issues that impact endangered owls.

Olive the Owl Wired Headphones are volume limited to 85 decibels which is the level recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The child-safe audio limit on the headphones helps to prevent noise-induced hearing loss. Listening at a maximum level of 85 decibels makes it safe to enjoy up to 8 hours of audio a day and is suitable for children aged 3+. Presented in vibrant colors with a unique headband pattern and printed on the earcups, the Planet Buddies headphones are designed to be fun, stylish, and ultra-comfortable with super-soft padding on the ear cushions and headband. Made from high-quality materials to ensure strength and durability, headphones are designed to withstand handling, drops, and knocks by small children. Fully foldable and compact, the headphones come with an eco-friendly carry pouch for protection and easy transportation. Includes in-line microphone and multi-function control button that allows you to answer/end calls, pause and play music, skip tracks, and activate Siri/Google Now.

Texas Instruments Calculator - TI-84 Plus CE

We all know Texas Instruments for their calculators I am sure, correct? But really they are so much more. They are a pretty dang cool tech company. They do things with the military and robotics. It is pretty cool if you do some research and learn about all that Texas Instruments does. But, mostly, we lay people all know about the cool calculators we coveted in school - am I right? Callan just scored a new graphing calculator and his first words were "Man, this things is futuristic!"

TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator

30% lighter and thinner than earlier generation TI-84 Plus models

Vibrant backlit color screen

TI Rechargeable Battery

Available in a variety of fun colors

Preloaded apps and images

MathPrint feature

Visualize concepts clearly and make faster, stronger connections between equations, data and graphs in full color. Enhanced screen readability with high-resolution, backlit display. Distinguish between multiple graphs and plots with color-coded equations, plots and objects. Make graphs easier to read by adding grid lines. Approved for exams. The TI-84 Plus CE is approved for use on the following exams: PSAT, SAT, and ACT college entrance exams. AP exams that allow or require a graphing calculator. Approved for use on the IB Diploma Programme exam.

Obviously this is pretty intense for regular math - but it does do that too. But this is awesome because it will help Callan down the line, not just for math such as Algebra and Calculus (and me with simple Division because I still use my fingers, ha ha - for real though) but also science, and especially because he is so creative and he wants to code as well, and you can use a graphing calculator for that - who knew? This calculator is super sweet and I dig it, but not as much as Callan does.
