Consisting of two delightfully illustrated children’s books and a companion teaching guide, this engaging three book set provides caregivers and educators with the information they need to teach vocabulary and a basic understanding of computer science concepts to children ages 4-8.

In Little Computer Scientists you join a group of friends as they explore the wonders of computer science, while in Little Hackers readers learn the story of how white hat hacker Zuri saves Grandpa’s computer from malware!

In addition to the picture books, an accompanying guidebook for parents and educators provides ways to introduce vocabulary, games to reinforce concepts and printable activities that help early childhood learners understand computer science in an engaging, age-appropriate way.

Covering topics such as binary, ciphers, using the command line, programming languages, sequencing, the basics of how computer systems and networks work, what hacking is, how to avoid phishing, how to be a good digital citizen and how to stay safe online, this set provides a comprehensive education in the basics of computer science for early childhood learners (integrating the Computer Science Teachers Association K-2 standards), with no background knowledge necessary.

Written in accessible, easy to understand language and featuring a diverse cast of underrepresented characters, these books will help you nurture and encourage a love and aptitude for STEM in curious children everywhere.
