"Hello Ruby is half picture book and half activity book rolled into one adorable package. It introduces programming without requiring a computer at all. The point of the book isn’t to teach you a programming language, but programming concepts." —GeekMom.com Meet Ruby―a small girl with a huge imagination, and the determination to solve any puzzle. As Ruby stomps around her world making new friends, including the Wise Snow Leopard, the Friendly Foxes, and the Messy Robots, kids will be introduced to the fundamentals of computational thinking, like how to break big problems into small ones, create step-by-step plans, look for patterns and think outside the box through storytelling. Then, these basic concepts at the core of coding and programming will be reinforced through fun playful exercises and activities that encourage exploration and creativity. In Ruby's world anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Ovatko ihmiset ja tietokoneet samanlaisia vai erilaisia? Onko robotilla tunteita? Sukella Rubyn matkassa tekoälyn maailmaan! Julialla on maailman paras lelu, fiksu ja söpö pikku robotti. Tyttöjen mielestä robotinkin pitäisi päästä kouluun, mutta kuinka robotilta sujuu oppiminen? Luokkahuoneessa ei vältytä kommelluksilta eikä robotti pysty osallistumaan kaikkiin lasten puuhiin. Mutta lopulta opettajankin on pakko myöntää, että robotti on tosi taitava. Hauskat tehtävät johdattavat tutkimaan koneen ja ihmisen eroja ja tekoälyn toimintaa.
