Revisiting Pumpkin Pad

We released our very first creative play iPad app for Halloween just over one year ago. Pumpkin Pad was incredibly fun to make, and sales are still going strong! (AND all year long!!!)

Pumpkin Pad combines whimsical art and kooky music to create a lighthearted, open-creative Halloween app for kids AND adults. You can pick from one of three pumpkins in the pumpkin patch to carve and design using a ton of different options: You can carve free-form using your finger, use one of the punch-out shapes, and also choose from humorous "stickers" of eyes, noses and mouths to create thousands of combinations!

We've also added in a bunch of different backgrounds and music selections to choose from as a really nice touch to get you in the Halloween spirit. And for only $1.99, it's an easy purchase for a ton of spooky fun! And once you've created your scene, send it to your friends and family.... Or even send it to US!

We've received hundreds of silly and creative pumpkins from kids of ALL ages from all over the WORLD! (We're putting up a gallery of all of them on our website very soon!) You can see just a tiny handful of them in this silly video we put together for the app last year right here.


Here's one of our latest creations.... We'd love to see YOURS!

Robots and Cupcakes Success Story by Smart





Robots and Cupcakes has a new home!

We have VERY exciting news for everyone: Robots and Cupcakes has grown out of its old digs, and has found a new home in nearby Hoboken, NJ! We're currently in the process of making the big move into a larger space, and should be settled in mid-September.

Our office is upstairs from the historic landmark Clam Broth House, which is located just one block from the PATH and ferry into NYC and trains into New Jersey. The area boasts lots of great food and shopping, including Carlo's Bakery from the popular reality show, Cake Boss!

YoMagination's "Journey to YoPoweR!" app is on the horizon...

Over the last few months, we've been working with YoMagination to help create an iPad app based on the printed YoPoweR! classroom curriculum designed for children with autism or are highly anxious.

Throughout the process, the app has grown! YoMagination has been adding even more wonderful features to the app, including a deep breathing exercise and a special shortcut menu to take kids directly to their favorite calming activities in times of need.

The new schedule has a release of late fall. We'll of course keep you updated!
Sun, A.K., Adax, Omrie and Ali are waiting to meet you!

New R&C Back-to-School Activities Ready for Teachers!

It's time to start those Back-To-School preparations! That means parents buying school supplies, kids picking out their new school wardrobe for the year, and teachers gathering their yearly planners and customizing their SMART Board lessons!

Be sure to check out our Back-To School-themed activities and calendars for the SMART Board in the SMART Exchange Forum!

Created for grades K-2 and 3-5, we've made some simple, fun activities to help welcome your students, and break the ice with you and each other.

And to keep track of your days along with your students, we've created a fun yearly calendar with lots of icons including weather, school events, holiday themes for decorative or organizing use, and cute day marker pieces! Along the bottom you'll also find an interactive thermometer, blank clock and a place value section.

Additionally, you'll find we've made a weekly calendar, a daily calendar, and a Classroom attendance sheet.

Click here to check them out and begin your school year in style! =)


P.S.: A French Canadian version should also be available in the next week. We'll post to let you know when it's ready!




ISTE Conference in Philly

We've just returned from ISTE's Unlocking Potential conference in Philly, and boy did we learn a ton more about all the newest products and services! Lots of very cool stuff—lots of new ways to accomplish the things we do! We caught up with our friends at SMART Technologies and eChalk, scoped out McGraw-Hill's new CINCH system (cloud-based textbook lessons), made some great new connections, met with some clients, and wandered the MASSIVE show floor.


There were amazing 3D visualization tools, rapid-prototyping displays, the latest in e-learning from Houghton-Mifflin Harcourt and Scholastic, developers both large and small, and so much more! We came away from the event with even more confidence in the direction that Robots and Cupcakes is headed in. We'll see you at the next big event!

The first YoPoweR! app is on the way...

Our next iPad app is only a month or two away! It's for the company YoMagination, a health and wellness education group that specializes in content for children who have autism, or who are naturally anxious. The first app of many, this story is a lighthearted, positive introduction to YoPoweR! with some interactive activities, including focusing and practicing deep breathing to help alleviate feelings of stress and frustration.


We'll keep you informed on it's release!
