“Although I think it’s important to teach children how to make the most of these amazing machines, I’ve been concerned for a while that the focus on “coding” is driving everyone in front of screens and tablets, on their own. This potentially misses out some other important skills such as interpersonal communication, manual dexterity, creative imagination and maths.
Children have amazing creative and imaginative skills, they’re like super powers at that age, and I wanted a way they could use them in learning about technology.
So I made the Craft Computer to create a more physical and creative experience. One that not only demystified the world of computers but also reminded them how valuable art and creativity is to technology.”
