Tablet era tests CompuChild founder Bill Ward
Adam Orr reports on Bill Ward founder of CompuChild and how the iPad boom around 2010 challenged his tech education program for young children. Ward recalls parental fears and the need to balance hands on learning with digital tools while teaching keyboarding, word processing, and Lego robot experiments. He started in 1999 aiming to introduce fundamentals of science and technology to kids aged 2 to 5 across Gastonia and Winston-Salem. Ward emphasizes proper terminology and active experimentation to spark interest in technology despite tablet familiarity. Reach Adams Orr at 704-869-1819 for more.
