Imagine yourself being an eight year old boy or girl again. What would you give for a chance of having those magic powers you use to dream of: the powers that would let you run free among prehistoric dinosaurs? The powers that could make you the hero who saves the world? The powers that could bring to life your favorite toy? The "Adventure World of Computing" course makes all these experiences as real as they can be.
