Over 6 fun missions learn the basic concepts of coding or computer programming and help Professor Bairstone and Dr Day keep the Monk Diamond safe from dangerous jewel thieves. In bite-size chunks learn important real-life coding skills and become a technology star of the future. Young Rewired State is a global community that aims to get kids coding and turn them into the technology stars of the future.
Young Rewired State is a U.K.-based worldwide community of digital makers aged eighteen and under. The community allows young coders to meet like-minded peers and share skills. Young Rewired State members can also meet expert mentors at free events around the world, like the Festival of Code, and use freely available open data to build apps, websites, and algorithms to solve real-world challenges.
After a brief history in the beginning, it jumps right into HTML coding and how to learn it with no prior knowledge. It is illustrated with cute characters that follow kids through their coding adventures and interject with fun facts throughout. It is an easy resource to use and it is very comprehensive in its approach to help kids learn something that can be quite complex. After teaching the basics, it challenges young coders to try new things like, “take a path,” or “make a game.” I would highly recommend this book for an older audience (tweens most likely) and I can definitely see making a library program from this book.
