    Wonder Workshop is making programming fun and accessible for children while they play. The way we relate to technology is changing fast. Our role is to give children the means to respond and the head start they will need to be successful in tomorrow’s society. Today the children are consumers of technology. Tomorrow they will need to be active participants in, and programmers of technology. We're leading a movement to make programming fun and accessible for children, ages 5 and above, as well as the adults around them. We are developing clever, imaginative, and unconventional ways of open-ended play that naturally leads to kids experiencing the joy of programming.
