Turning creativity into an interactive reality

Ideas made accessible to millions



The ability to communicate with machines is probably the closest thing to superpowers that can be taught.



II It�۪s as easy as learning a language

Games and apps with visual programming languages teach programming logic and concepts before kids can read.

Going simply interacting with technology to creating technology and expressing oneself in new ways.



V We need more programmers!

Over the next 10 years Programming will be one of the fastest growing occupations

With only 400,000 graduates in computer science. Leaving 1 million empty jobs!



1/10 Yet, only 1 in 10 schools currently teach computer science.



How programming jobs compare

Of the top 100 Jobs of 2013, 4 require programming experience

Mean Salary

All Occupations $45,790

Computer and Mathematical Occupations $80,180



60% of math and science jobs are computing jobs

but only
