Help needed to fund coding tool
The ‘Fuzebox’ developed by Fuze Technologies from Wotton Underwood uses a range of sensors including light, heat, gyro and GPS to allow children and seasoned coders alike to interact with their written code on a visual level.
Founder of Fuze and CEO, Jon Silvera, said: “We have an objective driven by a passion to make it as easy as possible for kids to get into coding.”

The device connects to equipment such as smartphones, tablets and PCs via USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabling users to program anything from apps and games to motion sensor cameras and television remotes.
Fuze needs to raise £125,000 via KickStarter in order to manufacture its first 1,000 hardware units, support on-going development costs and run free workshops. It is also commissioned by the Bucks Learning Trust to produce a computer development program. Bedgrove Combined and St Louis Catholic School are already using the technology too.
