IGHUB Code Camp for Kids
Imagine how businesses operated fifty years ago.
Banks counted your money one bill at a time.
You wrote letters to business partners.
Buyers must visit your store to see your products.
Today, technological innovations like counting machines, mobile phones, email and online stores have made businesses easier to run.
Technology improves existing products and processes and creates new ones.
No modern society can thrive without technology.
