As of today (the 25th), the "public" T^3 international conference hasn't started yet (that's on the 26th), but some sessions have already taken place for the
T3 instructors. So, I'm not allowed to attend then, but I've been exceptionally invited by TI to one, which was about things that we have been
noticing the past few days... And I can even talk about it - Thanks TI!

TI will soon (â fall) launch the "
TI-Innovator", external device compatible with the TI-84 Plus CE / TI-83 Premium CE et TI-Nspire CX (CAS), and defined as "A project-based system that enables students to learn basic coding and design, use those skills to program and build working solutions, and connect science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts."
TI-Innovator⢠Hub with TI LaunchPad⢠technology- Plug-and-play ready with TI-84 Plus CE and TI-Nspire⢠CX technology
- Built-in single and multi-color LEDs, speaker and brightness sensor

TI will also provide "
expansion packs": "

Science", "Sensors, motors and other components for projects that connect science concepts, programming and coding skills."
Activities tailored several use cases are also going to be available:
Note: Regarding USB things, OS updates for the CE and CX are scheduled for around "Fall 2016", which will refine/improve what's already there in version 5.1.5 et 4.2 of respectively the CE and CX.
I was also able to see a little something about the future CE 5.2 OS that a lot of us will appreciate, but I'm not allowed to talk about it... so you'll find out by yourself when it's released
