Rust for Kids

Author: Miquel Cabot (miquel@cabot.dev)

Rust for Kids is an educational project designed to introduce the Rust programming language to young learners in a fun, accessible, and interactive way. Using a combination of mdBook and Reveal.js, this book blends storytelling, visual slides, and hands-on coding examples to teach core programming concepts through Rust. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or curious kid, this resource aims to make systems programming approachable and enjoyable. One small Rustacean step at a time!
