Compared
with the early Little Professor with the LED display this one uses
like the Little Professor (1985) a LCD to ask
the child one of 80,000 pre-programmed math questions but added solar cells.
A very similar styling was used on the later products manufactured in China. Compare it here.
Don't miss the similar Mickey Math Adventure.
This
Solar Little Professor is one of the 6 calculators that were awarded with the
Blue Angle environmental label.
But Texas Instruments never decorated the calculator with the logo.
