The friendship bracelet that teaches kids to code ◇ $69

Ages 7–14.
Jewelbots are the perfect example of making coding fun and relatable for girls. I’m a former geek kid — I was programming in Visual Basic in the 90s when I was barely 10 and that was hella dry and unrelatable. BUT. IF I HAD HAD FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS TO CODE. OMG. I would’ve probably become a tech leader today myself instead of going to art school ’cause THAT felt more fun. No, but no regrets ;) Just saying this looks amazing and such a cool and smart idea! Go Jewelbots team!

Basically, Jewelbots introduce kids to the principles of programming and are perfect for beginners and for Arduino pros too. Jewelbots use Arduino — a language also taught in many school’s educational programs. Long story short, it’s physical programmable circuit boards that can create cool things IRL. So if you worry about kids staying stuck in Cyberspace, have no fear — Arduino makes programming super concrete and affects literally the real world we see and touch with awesome interactive objects or environments!
