While we were growing up, you had to take things apart to find out how they broke worked. Big Shot camera sets about things the other way around, coming in kit form to help kids know exactly what goes into making a camera tick. It's been in the prototype stage for enough time for its initial audience to have almost grown up, but none the less it's finally available to buy. The $89 camera has a 3-megapixel sensor, a 1.4-inch LCD screen, plus three lenses for different shooting modes (normal, 3D and panorama). Big Shot's inventor, Prof Shree Naya, has a similar vision to other educational product like the Raspberry Pi, and OLPC, where he hopes that if enough sell, he can send some off to the children with less resources. With possibly this in mind, the addition of a hand crank for human-powered operation could help make this the wind-up gadget for the Instagram generation.
