Crackles when you bite it. Shows the baker did the work.
Summary
Two Queensland teenagers, Neth Dharmasiri (17) and Chinmay Lal, have created a coding app to make programming education more accessible and bridge the digital divide. Neth, inspired by his father's gift of a Python beginner's guide at age 11, spent a year developing his own basic programming language. The teenagers believe that learning computer programming shouldn't depend on geographic location or socioeconomic background, and their app aims to democratize coding education for young people regardless of where they were born.
