A cake that can tweet

See examples at https://twitter.com/tweeting_cake

This is part of the "Internet of ordinary things" movement:
We take ordinary things and ask kids what they would do if it was connected to a computer and/or the internet.

It is a creative that brings value to both parties

• Kids learn to code while thinking witout bounderies
• Brands get a glimpse of what is possible if they think (way) outside their normal product development processes
