All Aboard intelino!

That's right--you can now put the Voyager/Intelino lessons developed to good use in the classroom!  The "intelino® smart train($99.95) was launched in the United States on September 10, 2019.  It is available in all US Apple Stores and at apple.com.   In addition Amazon has units available, and units are available at the intelino online shop.  The Track Extension Pack ($24.95), identical to the track included in the intelino train Starter Set, is avalilable from Apple, Amazon, and intelino.com.
