A Little Somebody: Young coding talent designs his own games

Most children have their eyes glued on the computer screen because of online games nowadays, but for Jake, it is not to play, but to design them. 

Jake is only 9 years old, but he is already designing his own computer games. He goes to an advance coding class meant for older students, but he aces with ease. 

Asked if it is too early to let his son learn coding, Jake's father, who is an IT engineer himself, thinks Jake should have started at an even younger age. 

Last year, Jake designed and coded a voice controlled game for his father as a birthday gift. This time round in "A Little Somebody", Jake receives the challenge to design and code a more complex mobile game for his younger brother. 

Will he succeed? Get the answer and more in this episode of "A Little Somebody".
