2 PROBLEM Parents have a strong, latent desire for their kids to master computers at the earliest1 in the computer age
HOWEVER, EARLY-CHILDHOOD (5-12 YEARS OLD) COMPUTATIONAL
THINKING/COMPUTER RESOURCES ARE NON-EXISTENT OR COMPLETELY FRAGMENTED Current coding resources for kids less than 12 years old
VIRTUAL CODING LOCAL CODING CLASSES SCHOOLS CLASSES ☓ <10% of US/India Schools ☓ Physical limitations2 have structured computer ☓ Very low student ☓ No standard curriculum engagement3 courses in early childhood ☓ Expensive ☓ Complex for parents to follow ☓ Structured courses focused on computer literacy vs. ☓ No H2H element - critical for computational Thinking early childhood development
+ STRUCTURAL LONG-TERM ECOSYSTEM PROBLEM: INABILTY TO SYSTEMIZE ABSTRACT
