Children are our most precious resource They represent our futurefuture

The education of our children has far-reaching consequences for global economies. The world’s strongest nations also have the most focused and extensive educational systems.

“For individuals, education remains the strongest indicator we have of future success, employment advantage and earning power.” – Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft Corporation

In early childhood education, there has been a gap – a need for a way to teach technology that children would find entertaining and engaging, but which teaches fundamental skills they can use throughout their school years and on into adult life.
