| WHAT: |
Nintendo Labo, an interactive build-and-play experience that combines the magic
of Nintendo Switch with the fun of DIY creations, will officially launch in Canada on
Friday, April 20. Beloved science educator Bill Nye - "the Science Guy" - will be in
Toronto to celebrate this launch alongside a lucky group of Toronto schoolchildren. |

|
|
Bill Nye has been the face of popular science in North America ever since his
eponymous PBS show launched in 1993 and he currently hosts the Emmy-
nominated show Bill Nye Saves the World on Netflix. At this very special event, the
science educator will introduce Nintendo Labo to a group of Toronto kids, who will
get the chance to explore all three stages of Nintendo Labo as they make, play and
discover new experiences. |

Nintendo Labo introduces a new way for people to play together – one that invites
kids and those who are kids-at-heart to create their own play experiences.
Nintendo Labo kits are specially designed to interact with the Nintendo Switch
system and Joy-Con controllers, allowing kids to transform modular sheets of
cardboard into interactive creations called Toy-Con – including a piano, a
motorbike, a fishing rod, or a robot. There are two kits available at launch – Variety
Kit and Robot Kit – which attendees will be able to experience at the event. |
|
|
|
Nintendo Labo also lets kids discover the mechanics of how these interactive
creations come to life and, using Toy-Con Garage mode, gives them a chance to
redesign how Toy-Con operate or even build their very own Toy-Con creations. |
