Combine Learning To Code With A Time Travel Adventure
What did the Incas, Vikings, San and Sumerians have in common? They lived in the past for one, but they also had none of our modern-day technology to help them. Life must have been tough but perhaps it would have been easier if they had our knowledge of code to help them!
