How fantastic is this! Spreading the joy of coding worldwide, we have now heard from parents and teachers about the many ways they can think of using the game - and boy, are you all ever so amazingly creative!!!
People also asked how does the game fit in the ecosystem of awesome other tools to learn coding - and we can definitely do an update on that.
Some teachers were interested in creating a lesson plan for this game, and yes, that totally makes sense!
We heard also requests to see what the product will look like, so will be uploading soon a photo of the boxed set and sharing the story of how it was designed.
Keep the ideas coming, folks, we love to hear from you, and you are taking us in some awesome new directions.
Thank you again for all the encouragement and support, hearing from friends old and new has been one of the best parts of this crowdfunding experience.
Best to all,
Alexandra

We are thrilled, thrilled, thrilled with the support and the positive feedback. Thank you all and huge props to Lauren Winegard of Springfield, Missouri for putting us past the 50% mark!
As you can see on the map above, we have now received backing from all over the world: Canada, US, UK, New Zealand, Israel, Netherlands, Denmark, Indonesia, Fiji, Australia and Egypt (that map just blew my kids minds - they were late going to bed just looking at all the locations we now have and all the ones we haven't heard from yet).
Let us also celebrate our five backers who are Coding Ambassadors :
- Pankaj Agarwal (see www.techupkids.com)
- Sarge Salager
- Dan Slee (hurray for Nathan's Dad!)
- Antoine Bouthors
- Elena Tuason Verlee
It's been amazing to see the number of tech savvy parents who are supporting this so far - tech CEOs and social media mavens. Please message us if that is you, as we will be highlighting that in one of our updates.

Finally, we would love to hear from you if you know of any organizations that may be interested in having their logo on the box (the largest reward level listed). This would be a great opportunity for a tech company that cares about helping kids learn coding.
Thank you again so much for your support. And happy Friday!!!
