Agent Asha: Mission Shark Bytes
Computer code just got dangerous in this action-packed spy adventure series.
Agent Asha: Mission Shark Bytes introduces Asha Joshi, who has the perfect excuse not to finish her homework. She's just been recruited to join the top-secret Children's Spy Agency. Her first mission: SAVE THE WORLD. Can she do it? Asha's a coder, so she should be able to hack into the biggest tech company in the world, fight deadly sharks, and figure out why the Internet has stopped working. All before bedtime. Easy, right?
The story is a great way to engage young readers in coding, critical thinking, and STEM. It is mapped onto key National Curriculum Computing KS1 and KS2 concepts, including algorithms, conditionals, and debugging.
