Here is the solar powered I-Slate that was recently unveiled at the IEEE’s 125th Anniversary event on Tuesday. The gadget will replace chalk slates that are being used across the world today. It enables students to learn new math skills without requiring a literate teacher around. Dr. Krishna Palem and his team at Rice University are currently working on the final iteration of the I-Slate. The gadget utilities a “probabilistic” computer chip, which makes small trade offs in performance in order to reap immense energy savings. The I-slate will be able to download coursework using wireless networks. Dr. Krishna Palem expects to begin testing prototypes next Spring in India. [Popular Mechanics]
