I haven’t seen it before! My little programmer is 8. She would love this because she’s just starting to learn coding and this looks like a great way to do it!

They would love this because they have begun to learn coding in school and both enjoy it. It is one of the few things they home and want to do more of. Thanks so much

They would love this because anything to do with computers and programming interests them. We’ve been doing some Hour of Code activities together, and they amaze me with how they understand what to do. Looking forward to a BitsBox in the mail would be super exciting!

He’s bilingual and loves reading, although he does not want to read in Spanish at all :(. Gracias!

Which is fine with us – there are plenty of test-takers in the world, but we need good inventors.

He built his own computer, but he hasn’t done much programming, this would be perfect!

I got the free version for my school library and they loved testing it out for me.

My little programmer is 13 but I also volunteer teach STEM related activities with kids from 9 years of age and up! This would make a great addition!
