Computational thinking skills are imperative for our youth as they prepare for their future in a digital economy. This book provides children with an engaging introduction to approaching problems and tasks computationally. --Sarah Lee, PhD, Higher Ed Administrator and Advocate for Broadening Participation in Computing Just like all kids need to know math, all children should learn about computer science to be prepared for an ever-increasing technology-filled world. This book is an excellent introduction to foundational computing skills for young children. In addition to being fun and colorful, it also relates computing concepts through engaging, 'unplugged' (no computer needed) activities and puzzles to spark creativity, increase critical thinking, and strengthen problem-solving abilities, which are all valuable skills for computer science and life! --Shelly Hollis, Assistant Director of Center for Cyber Education at Mississippi State University

""Coding is the new literacy. The sooner we get kids on board playing with logic, computational thinking, and coding concepts the better prepared they will be for an increasingly digital world. Randy has done a great job laying out fun, engaging activities for both teachers and parents to explore with young children."" --Julie Cwikla, Ph.D., Director of Creativity & Innovation in STEM at the University of Southern Mississippi and Best-Selling Author of Good to Great Grant Writing ""Computational thinking skills are imperative for our youth as they prepare for their future in a digital economy.

Not only does it break down both the technical and strategic topics, but it's also interactive, diverse, and funny! I have enjoyed sharing this book with the little ones in my family as it gives them a glimpse into my world as a software developer engineer, acquired-tech startup CTO, and artificial intelligence scientist, in hopes that they too are inspired by and exposed to coding."" --Nashlie Sephus, PhD, Software Developer Engineer, Artificial Intelligence Scientist, and Founder and CEO of The Bean Path
