Unlock Your Child's Tech Potential: An Empowering Journey Awaits!
summary
Claims early elementary is ideal, with computer science bias appearing by age six and a single trial boosting interest (women 10×, Black/Latino 7×); having a home computer matters (67% households vs 100% of incoming tech majors). Concrete, cheap tools shown: squishy circuits, Scratch with a TensorFlow-based SB3 template for image-trained sprites (Phippy’s AI Friend), micro:bit, mBot2, Makeroid, LEGO Spike and Raspberry Pi projects. Book Raising Young Coders releases soon with step‑by‑step workshops and sample classroom pairing and pacing recommendations.
