A 2019 holiday card from the Bitsbox Co-Founders

Cute kid coding with a pug

Hey Bitsboxers,

The snow is falling, our kids are full of sugary excitement for Winter Break, and, as always, Scott is wearing khaki shorts.

This time of year is hectic, but we thought we'd take a moment to reflect and stroll down the 2019 Memory Lane with some highlights from the year.

Bitsbox started as a passion project to teach our own kids how to code. Today, it's the Bitsbox community—your kids—that keep us passionate about educating the next generation of makers. So thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.

Alright, 'tis the season for spreading joy. Here are some Bitsboxers that brought us joy this year:

1. This coder that commanded her classroom and did our jobs for us:
