Giggle Chips: ABC Computer Science Game Cards by Jennifer Ellis

My name is Jennifer, my daughter Charlotte and I created Giggle Chips' ABC Computer Science Game Cards! I am a tech mommy immersed in a life full of technology. With the statistical data that is out there, I care about my daughter's future in computer science since it will offer her financial opportunities and special career advantages. I love teaching Charlotte (six-years-old) about technology! We also love to doodle! Then I had my a-ha moment, as a society we lack computer science characters in children's learning media. Our Project Inspired by my "kidpreneur," we created the Giggle Chips' ABC Computer Science Game Cards. The cards are 4.25" x 6", 16 pt, gloss UV coating, will be packaged in a clear cello pack (with a hang hole) and will be printed in the U.S. We only have one sample of the flashcard prototype. With the $500 billion employment opportunity - it's time to start teaching our kids computer science now.

Children and teens are then prompted to label and title each entry (for example: Step One-Send out invitations) as well as type a description of it (for example: Mom has guest list and addresses in drawer by the phone).

Dr. Techniko's Children's Stories and Games

“In what programming language?” You may ask. Well…I didn’t use a programming language, at least none that you know of. In fact, I didn’t even use a computer. Instead, I devised a game called “How To Train Your Robot”. I learned how to program during my freshman year at MIT when I was 19. Learning how to program is going to be the most useful new skill we can teach our kids today. How To Train Your Robot The game works as follows: every kid is turned into a “robot master” and their mom or dad becomes their “robot”. The goal is for the robots to go through an obstacle course, pick up a ball and bring it back. The fun part begins when each robot retrieves the ball. This is my favorite program (written by a five year old girl): I designed the class to teach some very basic principles of computer science and programming: However, I was pleasantly surprised on how much more the kids learned.
