Seventeen-year-old Aryan Poduri from California has authored 'GOAT Coder,' a book aimed at teaching Python programming basics to children. Released in April 2025, the book uses engaging exercises and analogies to simplify coding for young learners, addressing a perceived lack of accessible resources. Poduri, who attends Stanford Online High School, was inspired by his parents' efforts to teach his younger sister and has already sold over 2,000 copies, seeking to make coding more approachable.
