codeSpark is the world’s most innovative system for teaching young kids about computer science.  The world is digital but schools are still analog. 9 out of 10 schools do not teach computer science. We’re developing a self-directed iPad game and learning platform for kids aged 5-8 to learn the ABC’s of computer science.

codeSpark is a startup that I co-founded along with Grant Hosford, based in Pasadena, CA. As Chief Product Officer, I lead product design and development with a small team of talented game developers. For more information and to sign up for email updates visit our website at codeSpark.org. We are backed by great investors such as Bill Gross from Idealab and Mitch Kapor from Kapor capital.

Our first product is a game called The Foos available free on mobile and web. We are an official code.org Hour of Code partner.

Meet “The Foos” – a lovable cast of characters to program, interact with, and learn from.
