Kids and families can now discover the Australian outback, hear the history of the Egyptian pyramids, take a trip to Mount Everest and listen to notable facts from around the world in the comfort of their home with the new SmartGlobe from Oregon Scientific. With the SmartGlobe, children from kindergarten through high school can play age-appropriate activities learning history, geography, culture and more.  Also, new information for the SmartGlobe is available every week, making it not only the most current globe but the first globe on the market that can be updated. A distinctly unique and bilingual product, the SmartGlobe contains nearly 30 learning activities in English and six in Spanish. With a simple touch of the wireless SmartPen, young globe trotters learn fascinating facts about the world like flying time between two locations, currency equivalencies, and weather and population facts. And, as worldwide news changes, the globe is easily updated – after receiving alerts via email, simply connect the SmartGlobe to a computer using a standard USB port for automatic downloads of the new information.
