BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Victor Technology, a trusted leader in thoughtfully innovative workplace solutions, is proud to announce the launch of two new fidget spinner calculator solutions; SpinCalc and SpinShield. These innovative products combine everyday calculation with discreet fidget functionality to help students stay focused, engaged, and classroom ready.

SpinCalc Scientific Calculator with Fidget Spinner

Built off the best-selling Victor® Scientific Calculator with 2-Line Display, which is perfect for Algebra, Geometry & Trigonometry, the SpinCalc (Model 940FS) is designed with educators and students in mind. SpinCalc provides a subtle way to channel restless energy without disrupting learning environments, eliminating the need for separate, distracting fidget toys which are banned in many schools. SpinCalc is ideal for classrooms where focus matters most. Offering a practical tool that improves concentration while remaining useful, durable, and appropriate for daily academic use.

SpinShield: Fidget Case Cover for TI-30XIIS

The Victor SpinShield (Model TI30FS) is a protective snap-on case designed specifically for the Texas Instruments TI-30XIIS scientific calculator. More than just a case, SpinShield adds a built-in fidget spinner that supports sensory regulation and stress relief while protecting the calculator from everyday wear. SpinShield offers an easy way for schools and students to upgrade existing calculators with added focus and support without replacing trusted devices.

"At Victor Technology, we understand the challenges educators face in keeping students focused in today's dynamic learning environments," said Greg Palese, Vice President of Marketing at Victor Technology. "By integrating fidget functionality into essential tools like calculators, we're helping schools eliminate distractions without sacrificing engagement or performance. SpinCalc and SpinShield are designed to support concentration, reduce stress, and make learning more productive—and a little more fun."
