Science Stories: Coding and Computers

Computers are such an important part of our everyday lives... but how much do you really know about them?

This endlessly fascinating book not only explores the science behind information technology, but reveals the true-life stories of the people behind the scenes who played important roles in forging this radical transformation in human culture. Young readers can discover how coding actually works, who invented the internet, and much more.

The full-color illustrations by Roy Hermelin brings the text to life with a modern sense of energy, fun and humor. It's absolutely packed with surprising and eye-opening facts, and a blast to read.

A great gift for kids aged 8+.
