In 1976, Texas Instruments introduced what it boasts was “the first electronic educational toy”: the Little Professor. It functioned as a handheld drill-and-practice aid for basic math, and was designed to resemble a wise and friendly owl. The Little Professor suggested problems to students and rewarded them with a message on its display when they gave the correct answer.
