This colorful, illustrated book teaches young readers about Lady Liberty''s history and what she means as an American symbol today.

The Power Coders are headed to the first-ever Youth App Fest. They hope to win money for new computers with their app idea, a chat bot based on Tommy''s dog, Jack. One of the coders, Peter, has been acting distant lately. He claims to be too sick to go. The team is crushed. However, he says they can contact him on a new messaging app. The Power Coders go to App Fest and realize that even though chatting with Peter on the app is fun, they need him there to win. Soon, it''s clear something is up with Peter, if that''s really who they''ve been talking to. This is a book about collaboration, artificial intelligence, friendship, and a major mystery.

In this volume, the kids in the Power Coders Club embark on a fun adventure. This time, they use their computational thinking skills to investigate the secret of the five bugs, working to solve a problem that causes havoc at the local science museum. The museum''s curator, Grace''s father, needs the coders'' help to save his job. Readers will follow along as the five youthful coders use their knowledge to find the answers they need to solve the problem. The club members work together to test their programming and code-debugging skills. Colorful illustrations, humorous situations, and solid computational thinking skills will keep young coders reading to discover how the club deals with these problematic bugs.

"What''s that tapping?" A rhythmic tapping in their classroom confuses the members of the Power Coders Club, but they realize they don''t have the skills needed to solve this mystery. However, they do have the skills needed to find a "simulated friend," a real person in the school who has the talents they currently lack. Using data analysis, the club members put their heads together to find the best student to help them. The Power Coders work together with their new friend to discover the source of the cryptic, rhythmic tapping. The colorful illustrations, humorous dialogue, and coding examples are sure to keep readers entertained as they learn a real-world application for data analysis and computational thinking.

In one of their most bizarre adventures yet, the Power Coders become stuck in a time loop! The kids are forced to relive a short sequence of events over and over. Luckily, together they have the computational thinking skills needed to recognize the loop and form a plan to break out of it, if they can stop thinking about cupcakes! After recording and analyzing the peculiar sequence of events, the young coders use their knowledge of loops, logic, and Boolean expressions to discover the source of the mystery. Colorful artwork, amusing dialogue, and an antibullying approach help make this narrative both entertaining and informative.

The Power Coders are back and ready for Halloween. To get into an All-State Gaming Competition, the members of the Coding Club have to submit their own computer game. Working with a student graphic novelist, the Coders create a game, complete with a mashed-up Frankenstein monster, to help biology students prepare for an upcoming test. When the graphic novel goes missing before the code''s done, it''s trouble for everyone! Using real code and step-by-step thinking, this entertaining graphic novel teaches kids fundamentals of computer science. With fun characters and a fast-paced plot, this book also is sure to tickle every coder''s funny bone.

While mentoring a group of younger children at a local museum, the Power Coders recognize a chance to spread their programming knowledge to others. A medieval unicorn tapestry, coding skills, and a fascination with Minecraft come together in this inspiring and humorous narrative. The Power Coders and their young friends must complete a project about the unicorn. Naturally, the Power Coders decide to get coding. They guide the younger kids in understanding Minecraft mods and how to debug a program. This turns out to be the perfect way to encourage a reluctant girl who''s more interested in Minecraft than art or coding.

The dozen activities in this book don''t require a computer, but will help readers become masters at computational thinking. This volume stars out with activities highlighting the necessity of giving clear, direct instructions. It continues to include instructions that introduce readers to concept of computer languages, commenting on codes, number systems, and the importance of binary in coding. Fun illustrations and informative sidebars help make the volume engaging, while back matter elements like a glossary and further reading section reinforce what readers have learned and offer ways to learn more about thinking like a coder.

Computers have become enmeshed in almost every aspect of modern life. While this development has made our lives easier and more convenient, it also opens us up to all sorts of security risks. The dozen activities in this volume emphasize the importance of computer security and delve into the steps that both coders and ordinary users of technology can take to improve their computer security. Individual activities explore topics such as encryption, coming up with secure passwords, two-step verification, phishing, and fingerprint identification.

A single error in a line of code can cause a computer program to go haywire or stop working entirely. Luckily coding has a process for dealing with errors: debugging. Debugging consists of finding and fixing errors in code. You don''t have to work as a coder to develop your debugging skills, though. The simple activities in this book help readers develop their logic skills and an eagle eye for spotting errors, both of which are indispensible in coding and helpful in many other areas as well.

Though code is what makes software run, its user experience (UX) is what makes it a success. Designing a user experience requires a combination of computer science skills and an artistic eye, especially when it comes to the user interface (UI). What users see and interact with will greatly influence their reaction to a piece of software. This book teaches the importance of UX and UI designers and introduces the practices of good software design, all while stimulating readers with unique, engaging activities.
