Hey,
Hopefully you’ve now had a chance to watch the first two videos. If not, go back and watch them. They’re short and to the point. There’s also two good articles that I read recently about the secret educational benefits of video games:

Have you ever watched Cupcake Wars?
Well…in the video above check out the game design competition officially called, “Code Wars” I did with a few kids. These kids are probably much like your own child with distinct personalities, hobbies, interests, etc.
Also let me know what you think of me walking around the room in a square. Haha! Hopefully this gives you a glimpse of how I will make this fun for your kid too.
So for sake of getting too deep into it, I want to show you what one of the contestants, Josh did in those 2 hours to show you where your child will begin and how he can get to this same point.
