Bits and Bytes Bits & Bytes is an exciting new card game that helps teach primary school children computational thi How can Bits & Bytes help?

Ironic Thought's first product is Bits and Bytes - an exciting, fun card game that teaches primary school children computational thinking, a fundamental requirement for computer programming. And best of all, children don't even realise they’re learning to code. The UK government made it compulsory to teach children of all ages in primary school computer programming from September 2014 - which is an ambitious target given the lack of training, budget and equipment being provided to primary schools. Unfortunately there are few tools around that primary schools can use that don’t take up precious space or that work equally for children in reception (age 4) as well as children in year 6 (age 11). And, most importantly, the tools that are available are not really affordable for primary schools where budgets are tight. As Bits & Bytes is a card game it doesn't take up space, it's extremely affordable and the game is flexible so it can become harder (or easier) as children master the game. Teachers don't even have to be experts in programming or coding to use Bits & Bytes. Please visit the website for more information on what is Bits & Bytes and how it can help children in primary schools learn computational thinking, a fundamental requirement for computer programming and coding.

We’re very excited to learn Bits and Bytes has finally reached the shores of South Africa.

Whilst on holiday in the UK, Emma (the teacher) picked up a copy of Bits and Bytes and now our card game is helping to teach the children from her school vital STEM skills.

To quote Emma (we’re sure she won’t mind us quoting her):
”Our girls seriously love the game. As an all-girls school we are committed to empowering all our girls to develop an interest in STEAM activities.”

Thanks for the kind words Emma and we’re excited to hear Bits and Bytes is in South Africa (even if it had to be purchased in the UK).
