Set in 1977, Troop Zero follows the story of 12-year-old Christmas Flint as she recruits a makeshift troop of Birdie Scouts in order to earn the chance to be recorded on NASA’s Golden Record and become part of space history. The film stars Academy Award winners Viola Davis and Allison Janney, Mckenna Grace, Jim Gaffigan and Mike Epps.
“At Bitsbox, our mission is to teach all kids to code by providing challenges – just like life – so they learn how to overcome – just like the Birdie Scouts in Troop Zero,” said Scott Lininger, co-founder and CEO at Bitsbox. “Amazon has been a tremendous collaborator for us, so we are thrilled to build on our relationship with this unique initiative.”
The Bitsbox collab will give subscribers a FREE Troop Zero app project in every box delivered for the next month. Bitsbox will also be featured by Amazon as the Deal of the Day on Sun., Jan. 19, with an offer for 50 percent off the first box with the purchase of a new subscription. Fans can also check out a digital downloadable version of the free coding project, Troop Zero: The App.
