It is great to be getting the Skoog out and about in the press.  Being a new innovative piece of technology is great but  you have to make sure the world knows you are here.  Hello WORLD!!

The skoog is coming to play.

At Skoog we are keen to maintain our academic links/heritage and are actively involved with a few different departments up and own the country. Nice to see the psychologist picking up on the Skoog.  Looking forward to some Skoog related publications appearing once people have had a chance to get some projects on the go and asses them.  Here is the link to the article http://www.thepsychologist.org.uk/blog/11/blogpost.cfm?threadid=1602&catid=48

This percussive Marimba invites striking and tapping – and although not shown here means you can shake and roll The Skoog and acheive some very interesting results.

Myself and David will be attending the Scottish Learning Festival 2009 – Our First Trade Show!

At the SECC Glasgow.  On the 23rd and 24th of September.  Going to be exciting to show the Skoog off to a wider audience particularly nursery and primary teachers.  It looks like a pretty interesting program and I am keen  to see what the ‘dragons den’ style young entrepreneur event is going bring to light from the schools – there is a rockband/guitar hero event too (so we wont be the only ones making some noise!)

So do come and get your hands on a Skoog if your in the area, should be a fun couple of days.
