| Publisher Description: From the first computing machine, to smart devices, to the cloud, and the need for cybersecurity, the development of computer science has been an exciting and fast-paced development that affects the lives of all. The author uses the familiar comic book format to teach the story of computers to kids and teens, showing them how they can use code to make people's lives better. Rhyming text and expressive illustrations take the reader's imagination on a fun journey of learning what others have done and encouragement that they, too, can use code and apps to make the world a better place. |
Contributor Bio(s): Amadi, Timothy: - No matter their background, age, or interest, eleven-year-old Timothy Amadi wants kids everywhere to know one thing: Everyone can code. Including kids. Timothy should know--he started coding when he was just 9 years old and he's been empowering kids ever since. Timothy believes coding is the global language in today's digital world, and kids need to communicate through this language. He wants kids to help with identifying challenges and building solutions to problems around the home, school, and community through code. Timothy is always happy whenever invited by schools and clubs to engage boys and girls in finding solutions through code. When he's not coding, Timothy loves to play ping-pong with his two older brothers, Eugene and Daniel. He also plays the xylophone and piano. |
