Ren's Desert Bughunt
The sun is flickering. The river is flowing backward. Something has gone very wrong in Ranger Ren's desert park!
Join Ren on an adventure to debug the desert and restore order to the wild. This STEM picture book brings nature and computer science together to help kids think like programmers.
Park Ranger Ren has the best job ever: protecting wildlife and keeping order in the desert park. But today, the park is broken. Glitch the Desert Woodrat, a mischievous thief with a love of shiny things, has snatched the Yucca Moth—and the whole world is glitching out.
Help Ren catch the thief, find the moth, and save the day. Along the way, young readers discover how logic, patterns, and a little problem-solving can put things right.
Follow a sequence of steps to help Ren cross the canyon. Every great plan starts with knowing what comes next.
Cross the rushing river by repeating actions over and over. Discover how a simple loop can carry you a long way.
Work out what's gone wrong in the system and help repair the trouble Glitch has caused.
Use logic to crack codes and organize giant piles of trash. Spotting patterns helps turn a jumble into order.
Make smart decisions to stay safe. IF the snake wakes up, THEN fly away! Explore how conditions guide the next move.
Break a big, scary challenge into smaller, easier pieces. Tackle one part at a time and keep moving forward.
A story for kids who love nature and grown-ups who want to introduce critical thinking and logic. Ren's adventure connects a playful narrative with concepts like input/output and cause and effect.
