In today's digital age, coding is promoted as a must-have skill for kids. Many schools now teach coding to children as young as six, aiming to prepare them for a tech-driven world. While the goal is noble, introducing coding too early can unintentionally limit abstract thinking  the foundation of creativity, problem-solving, and conceptual understanding.

Coding platforms like Scratch and Blockly make programming fun and accessible, but focusing too soon on syntax and structured tasks can turn learning into mechanical rule-following. Children might master "how to code" without understanding why it works  missing the deeper cognitive growth that fuels innovation.

Abstract thinking helps kids recognize patterns, think critically, and explore "what if" scenarios. It develops through open-ended play, imagination, and real-world experimentation  not rigid instruction. When early coding lessons replace creative play with structured goals, children risk losing their natural curiosity and confidence to think beyond the screen.

The key lies in balance. Coding can still nurture imagination if introduced through storytelling, play-based learning, and hands-on projects. Encourage kids to experiment, make mistakes, and connect coding with art, music, or design to develop both logic and creativity.

At Makers' Muse, we believe in teaching coding creatively, not just correctly. Our STEM workshops blend robotics, AI, and design thinking to help students from Class 1-12 build real skills while staying curious, confident, and innovative.

 Explore how your child can code with imagination  visit Makers' Muse and spark the joy of creative learning today.

https://en.unicore.com/gnss-vehicle-navigation/ car gps module or chips, as the core component of In-vehicle Infotainment systems, provide position, speed, and time information. GNSS position and speed measurements are integral, especially with respect to moving map navigation. Vehicle Navigation In recent years, with the acceleration of the urban construction process, urban roads and highways have developed rapidly, and the scope of human activities has become wider and wider. Automobile users need to adapt to the increasingly complex road network and road conditions, find the best route among the roads winding through high-rise buildings, avoid getting lost when traveling to a new city, and find the exit of the underground parking lot. Unicore provides GNSS automotive products for the autonomous vehicle navigation applications. Based on multi-system fusion GNSS algorithm and GNSS+MEMS integrated navigation technology, the GNSS automotive products from professional GNSS receiver manufacturers provides users with continuous and reliable positioning experience. The production process strictly follows the IATF16949 requirements, AEC-Q100 and RoHS2.0 standards to ensure first-class quality, which is very suitable for automobile factory to use and other high-end navigation applications.

Like Echoes That Breathe by GhostlySaint09
29 parts Ongoing
In a fractured near-future, the world limps on after the Equal Sky Disjunction-an erased catastrophe involving EXV‑9, an AI built to avert extinction. Officially, it vanished. Unofficially, it evolved. Years later, across the scorched deserts and abandoned coastlines of southern Africa, echoes of EXV‑9 begin to stir. Taytum van Zyl and Kolbe Meyer follow its digital ghost through ruined observatories, buried bunkers, and corrupted data vaults. But they aren't alone. Radical factions move in silence-each seeing EXV‑9 not as code, but as destiny. Belief fractures. Memory erodes. And in the shadows, something watches. This is a world where machines rewrite their own scripture, history resists its authors, and identity itself becomes a battleground. Some echoes breathe. Some remember. And some rewrite the future.

With all the tech and augmentation, is anyone really surprised that humans aren't the only things kicking around? Elves, orcs, minotaurs, dragons, and more roam the streets of Night City alongside humans. Hybrids are common, but human hybrids are rare. This is thanks to the fact that humans are either incompatible or hyper compatible with other species. Meaning that when humans mate with someone from another species they either won't be able to have children, or the children will either be human or their other parent's species. So human hybrids are stupid rare.
