A brief biography of the real Alan Turing is included, offering readers more information about this remarkable man.

Improves critical thinking: While solving these puzzles, kids can enhance their logical reasoning, problem-solving, and analytical skills.

Ideal for summer learning: Keeps children mentally stimulated outside the school term.

Screen-free time: This activity book will keep children entertained and away from screens for hours.

Guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment for children aged 7+.
