BOSTON, Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, FORMLESS, Inc. announced a campaign to crowdfund resources for the development of a fun, interactive experience called Little Hackers, which uses a workbook and augmented reality to introduce readers as young as six years old to the foundational concepts of coding. Little Hackers both helps kids learn to read code, and empowers them to imagine themselves as future leaders in technology by presenting engaging characters drawn from groups that are underserved by and underrepresented within tech and science fields.

According to Brandon Tory, CEO of FORMLESS, "It's vital that we present relatable and engaging resources to our children at an early age, so that they develop open mindsets that aren't limited to a narrow range of possibilities or opportunities. Technology as a whole is often presented as out of reach. With Little Hackers, we intend to change that narrative by providing a product that is easy-to-use, fun, and connects with kids on a more personal level than traditional academic tools and materials."
