It's time to have some fun with coding and art - in all kinds of creative places. From origami dogs to paint-by-numbers, this book gets kid-coders talking like computers and debugging like pros. With the help of familiar art concepts - plus a little exercise and teamwork - the coding learning really comes to life!

The Coding Unplugged series uses creativity and physicality to engage children with the cardinal coding concepts, without the need for any hardware or screen time. By taking coding offline, it's easy to focus on the basic concepts, which are fundamental to learning to code. Combining coding learning with creative or physical activities is also a great way to embed the information and keep children active.
