ABOUT THE NESTOMIR (DIGITAL), PART I: Strange Landings

An entirely new way to learn coding & engineering...The Nestomir tells the tale of Jake Addison, a troubled Adolescent, from Grapefield, Wisconsin, who struggles with living up to the remarkable academic success of his father and grandfather. But everything changes one day when fate crosses Jake's path with a learning obsessed special forces soldier from a distant galaxy known as The Nestomir.

A REVOLUTIONARY LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

- Learn to code through an authentic sci fi story: Woven into the story are teachings taken from The Nestomir Galaxy's study of The Utma, the mysterious force holding The Nestomir, and all of us, together.

- Lessons designed by a team of engineers, writers, and scientists who took their own life-learning experiences to create the technical lessons in this story

- Lessons in Part I: Strange Landings focus on CODE. From creating Python functions, the magic of the open-source ecosystem, to understanding the essence of data...the story offers critical lessons intentionally focused on coding topics that often confuse first time learners.

FAQ

Why did we create this story?
>> The future of learning is about working with our brain, not working against it. We were designed to learn through narratives (stories). Ever stop and think about the complexity in even the simplest story? What about your favorite TV show? Did you know you had to store hundreds of complex relationships all while a plot with different places, people, motives and emotions evolve in front of you? If we can absorb these highly complex stories so well, even as children, then why not use stories to understand something simpler than the story itself, like math and coding? This question was the inspiration for The Nestomir. We want to use the power of storytelling to teach.

Do I need to care about coding to read this story?
>> Absolutely not. Coding is an important topic in 2021, we stand by that. But our intention is not to force anyone to code. Our intention is enlighten kids as to how code will be applicable to all industries (and passions), in the future.

What is the story about?
>> An accidental wrong turn tumbles Jake Addison into the midst of a war based in a galaxy millions of light years away whose culture worships a mysterious force, The Utma, which is believed to guide how all beings learn, love, and create. Think troubled teen. Think special forces alien soldier. Think foreign galaxy. Think superpowers. Think mysterious forces.
