Bits and Bytes Coding Game for Kids | The innovative card game and STEM toy. Teaches children the fundamentals of computer programming Ages 4-9 Fun for boys and girls. A great learning gift

Recent changes in national curriculums in England and around the world mean all children in primary schools (from age 4 through to 11) have to learn computer coding/programming and other STEM skills. Programming has rapidly become one of the most wanted skills by employers, especially given technology is constantly developing and is increasingly all important.

Bits and Bytes is an invaluable tool to assist parents and teachers to teach children the fundamentals of computer coding and the kids have fun playing but at the same time they are creating computer concepts, algorithms and the sequencing of instructions, and developing a logical mind-set. With this innovative card coding game, children learn the fundamentals of computer programming without using a computer or requiring any prior knowledge of computers or coding/programming.

Easy to play loved by children

Bits and Bytes is an exciting, fun and easy to play game with vibrant characters that appeal to children of all ages. It engages and empowers children, encouraging them to learn computational thinking (STEM skills) through play.

Bits and Bytes is a fun card game that 2 to 4 children (ages 4 to 9) can play. The game is simple to play. Children take it in turns to play (show) an Instruction card and they move their Program accordingly around the Grid. Before they can move forward the player reveals the card in front of their Program if it is blank they can proceed but it if is a Wall, a Bug or the dreaded CPU they cant move and may have to debug their Instructions. Once all of the children's Programs are home the game is over.
