Here’s an interesting theme for a Humble Bundle. Brainiac kid’s books, including books on coding, physics, website design and, of course, LEGO.
Heck, that sounds like something this self-proclaimed geek adult might be interested in. The line-up looks quite intriguing.
Customers can pay any amount of money and receive:
- Ruby Wizardry: An Introduction to Programming for Kids
- Lauren Ipsum: A Story About Computer Science and Other Improbable Things
- The Manga Guide to Electricity
- Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred: Seriously Geeky Stuff to Make with Your Kids
- The LEGO Adventure Book, Volume 1: Cars, Castles, Dinosaurs & More!
Customers who pay more than the average user will also receive:
- LEGO Space: Building the Future
- The Manga Guide to Physics
- Python for Kids: A Playful Introduction to Programming
- Incredible LEGO Technic: Cars, Trucks, Robots & More!
- Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML, CSS, and WordPress
And customers who pay $15 or more will receive all of the above, plus:
- Steampunk LEGO
- JavaScript for Kids: A Playful Introduction to Programming
- The LEGO Neighborhood Book: Build Your Own Town!
I’d be tempted for the Steampunk LEGO alone!
I like the fact that they are using comics and manga as educational tools. My mom learned to read on comic books, and my son learned playing Gameboy games. There’s lots of roads to learning, and it’s nice that this one isn’t a one-size-fits all kind of bundle.
As always, there is a charitable function to the Bundles, and the two charities supported by this one are Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Freedom of the Press Foundation.
Look for an interview in the next day or so from Joanna with the folks of No Starch Press, the company behind this Bundle.
