    I’ve been working on a unique storybook designed to teach kids about how computers work, and I would love to get your feedback.

I’ve aimed to keep each story short and engaging, sprinkling in humor and illustrations to captivate young readers.

    Hey! I’m JC. I’m 17 and part of Hack Club, a nonprofit where we help teenagers ship programming projects with their friends while growing technically. A while ago, I asked myself the question, “How exactly do programming languages work behind the scenes?” It seemed really daunting until I went to a half hour workshop at a high school hackathon about writing a tree-walk interpreter and realized that getting started was actually super fun.
