Beamz Interactive, Inc. Signs Agreement with Australia's Largest Special Needs and Assistive Technologies Supplier

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 19, 2014

"This distribution agreement with Spectronics is a significant step forward for our International initiatives," said Rod Lewis, Managing Director of Beamz International business. "As one of the leading distributors of Special Educational Needs products in Australia and New Zealand, we look forward to helping make a positive impact in the assistive learning community with our interactive music product. We hope to establish and build our relationship with Spectronics during 2014 and beyond."

Beamz recently attended the Spectronics "Inclusive Learning Technologies 2014 Conference which took place in Brisbane on May 20-23, 2014. The event was an overwhelming success and the Beamz player took center stage during the Opening Keynote speech given by former art and music teacher and renowned education technology integration evangelist Kevin Honeycutt.

Kevin Honeycutt said, "Hold that Beamz up for a minute and tell them what it is. I'm going to be using it for the next two days in my Music and the Lost Learner Hands-on Workshops. Just imagine kids playing with this and all the different sounds they will be able to make. I can get kids started immediately. They don't have to be afraid, they can just jump right in and start making music. I'm loving the Beamz because you don't have to be Juilliard trained to start. You can just start! Beamz will help to build huge onramps for learning. Huge, safe onramps for teachers and kids!"

The Beamz booth was busy with visitors eager to see the Beamz in action first hand and discuss its applications and user benefits. Beamz International's Product Specialist Christian Spaul (on Beamz) accompanied Kevin Honeycutt (on guitar) up on stage to entertain the audience with a jamming session.

"For me, It was great to see the Beamz rocking it on stage as part of the Opening Keynote Presentation band called "Tweetwood Mac," said Barbara Landsberg Sales and Marketing and ILT2014 Conference Director. "Spectronics is excited to be able to provide the Beamz to our customers. It offers so many possibilities for making music accessible for the students we work with. Not just simple notes, but dynamic music making right out of the box to motivate students of all range of abilities, from special needs students right up to budding professional DJs in secondary school. As a result of the ILT 2014 conference, interest in the Beamz from education and healthcare professionals has been phenomenal and Spectronics has already received advanced orders for the Beamz."
