Sara Chipps, founder of JewelBots, is teaching young girls to code through a programmable friendship bracelet that reacts to their friends' presence and sends secret messages. Her approach focuses on user testing with middle school girls to understand what's important to them, finding that they prioritize friendship over other features. Sara draws inspiration from Minecraft, which allows kids to build mods without coding, and aims to create a similar experience for her users. User testing revealed that girls value social interactions over technical aspects, leading JewelBots to focus on building relationships rather than just programming. Sara believes that hands-on hardware experiences like First Robotics events can be more engaging for young learners compared to traditional programming environments. With plans to manufacture and sell the bracelets by spring, JewelBots has already run a successful Kickstarter campaign and is pre-selling the product online.
