HelloExplorer
For young people who have shown interest in digital technology, or who you want to give an unplugged introduction to this space.

Without touching a computer, or even talking about code, we unpack the chronological origins of modern tech.
I'm in no rush to teach my kids to code (or yours) but I also know that handcrafts like knitting are the basis of binary code, and that computational thinking starts with looking for patterns, thinking outside the box, creating step-by-step plans and learning how to break big problems into smaller ones.
What we explore
We work through this world from within much larger human topics:
- Early Tools (stone age technology)
- Power & Energy
- Food (hunting & gathering)
- Shelter & Clothing (weaving & knitting)
- Communication
- Wayfinding
- Seeing Colour
- Keeping Count
- Making Sounds
Stage 2
Next: HelloMaker
Technology timelines, inventions and ideas are explored to make sense of where we are with digital tech today.
