If you are out of ideas on what to gift your friends’ kids on their birthdays, here’s an idea – a board game that teaches them programming concepts! C-Jump teaches important ideas like variables, and logic such as if, else. It may not make a programmer out of everyone, but it will teach them a skill that every budding scientist/engineer needs – logic.
Of course, everyone will hate you for trying to make geeks out of kids. (Blame me and I, in turn will blame Vivek for giving me this idea)
