Embodiment Construction

[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, there is depicted a block diagram of an exemplary education system, generally designated 200, in accordance with the principles of the subject invention. The education system 200 is characterized by an adjustable child's physical activity device 202 that is coupled to an A / V system 204. An adjustable child's physical activity device (ACPAD) controller 208 may be (and hence the dashed lines) coupled to the adjustable child's physical activity device 202. Additionally, the education system 206 is preferably, but not necessarily, coupled to external educational content / material sources 206.

[0042] The adjustable child's physical activity device 202 may be any type and / or style of exerciser or the like that is able to be used by a child and configured and / or adjustable for use by a child. The ACPAD controller 202, if provided, is operative to control the physical activity device 202 typically through or in response to input initiated by a user. The user may be...
