About

Slums of Senail is a story book introducing Computing to young learners; written by a qualified teacher. 

Our Mission

There aren’t many fictional stories designed to make Computing exciting and accessible for children. That’s why we combined storytelling with learning: a glossary at the back of the book explains the digital terms, while the narrative introduces Computing ideas in a way that feels natural and inspiring.

Slums of Senail is more than just a Computing story. It also reflects the real challenges faced by children worldwide (like access to clean water, education, and safety) helping readers build empathy while developing digital literacy skills.

Written for children aged 7–11, it aims to encourage them to see Computing as an option for their future studies while enjoying a story they can’t put down.

About the author

As both a mum and a Computing teacher, I wanted to create a story that sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and shows children how Computing connects to their everyday lives. Many children don’t realise that the technology around them (like routers, modems, or online services) is part of the bigger world of Computing. Through Slums of Senail, I bring these concepts to life in an imaginative, fantasy adventure that helps children recognise and understand them in a fun, engaging way.
