The magazine teaches students about coding, technology, and it's various applications. It motivated my students to learn more about coding and computer science. Beanz helped them understand how coding applies to their interests. The photos and illustrations are colorful and lively. There was a variety of topics covered in an interesting and relatable way.

Although most things can be found online these days, there is so much joy in receiving a physical package in the mail. My kids get so excited when their beanz Magazine arrives and they can't wait to read it. I know we could look up articles about coding online but I prefer for my kids to spend some time learning about their interests by reading, and reducing screen-time when possible. There's tons of info in every magazine that my kids can then teach me about, and they love learning about coding and computer science. Thank you beanz Magazine!

The topics were very interesting (focused on coding, computer science and beyond). The magazine has great visuals and variety.

In addition to reading, kids have the opportunity to engage in critical thinking, reasoning, and logic as they explore the worlds of coding, computer science, and all things STEAM. The articles in beanz Magazine teach children about history, technology, electronics, engineering, and computer science. As kids work to apply what they read about in the articles, they will employ mathematical skills, science-related skills and knowledge, as well as art skills.

Kids who are reluctant readers may find a "home" with beanz Magazine. When kids are passionate about a topic, they are more willing to read about it. I love the symbiotic relationship beanz creates for kids with reading and STEAM topics. And it works both ways. Just as a reluctant reader who loves coding may pick up an issue, a child who simply loves to read but isn't (yet) interested in coding/computer science may pick up an issue. It's fantastic.

I LOVE that beanz makes topics that are typically intimidating (especially for newbies) completely approachable and kid-friendly. Even novice coders or those just dipping their toes in the STEM waters will find a project, an idea, or a concept that appeals to them in each issue. As a former teacher turned homeschooling parent, I LOVE (love, love!) when cross-curricular learning takes place. Each of the projects and ideas included in beanz require a child to employ cross-curricular skills. A child isn't simply coding or creating a Roblox account. Kids are using math, science, art, or critical thinking. I am also excited about exposing kids who may simply be interested in "gaming" into the world of coding through beanz Magazine. This magazine is a wonderful bridge and jumping off point for kids to develop their existing interests, and push them to a higher plane.

My eleven year old son is totally captivated by the zany and informative articles. It's written in a friendly way so you don't have to be computer/coding expert to enjoy the magazine. I like it because it will help us stay abreast of the latest technologies, languages, platforms, and other industry changes. As a added bonus, it's great reading practice, as he doesn't really enjoy traditional storybooks.

The magazine teaches about computer science, things such as coding and robots were discussed. I liked that it teaches how math and other skills are used in the computer science field. It's educational, but interesting, which is great for kids.

beanz Magazine teaches computer programming in a fun, engaging way. Each article is on a different subject however they all tie in well to computer programming. This makes it fun and interesting to read.
