Teaching Little Humans to Code (And Eventually Rule the World)

Like the extremely gross wooden toy sets at the doctor's office that they expect children to play with, the toy of the future is also made out of wood. The similarities between the two end here. This wooden toy set, pictured below, is the future. Now children will be able to learn how to code via tinkering around with this wooden contraption. Comprised of three parts, each part of the toy is designed to teach a child a different task regarding coding.
If this toy is a big hit, the implications could be huge. This toy could help prepare our children for their future in rapidly changing technological world. I mean, toys that teach little kids how to code? This is probably the coolest kids toy ever, and I wish I had this growing up!

  1. The world relies on coding nowadays. I still remember the time when i started to learn coding language for developing android apps. this will help the children to learn to code at an early age.

  2. The title caught my eye, hahah! I don't know much about coding, but I do think this toy is amazing, I remember those toys in the doctor offices, so gross..why would you let your kids touch them right after a million other sick kids just did.. this new toy is cool though! I would play with it :)

  3. This is so cool, getting children interested in technology at such an early age and making it fun. Think of all the future computer engineers and cool technology developments.
