Welcome To Backpack Bytes
We love family byte-size fun and creative play with STEM & STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math)… one brick, one swoosh, and one click at a time. Our goal is to be a resource and partner for families to help children of all ages as they grow up digital.
We strive to share a view from the perspective of both kids and parents. Whether your backpack carries physical or digital notebooks, we want to help families plan and nurture seedlings that grow up to be resilient creators, innovators, problem solvers, and explorers.
Join us as we play, discover, and create fun new experiences as we grow!
