Hi. My name’s Tom and I’m 13 years old. I love computers. When I was 6 years old, I opened my mum’s computer to see how it worked. She was very angry, because I couldn’t put it back together. But I kept all the pieces and learnt about them, and when I was 8, I made a new computer for my mum. It was better than the old one, so she was very happy. Now I write computer games. I put my first game on my website when I was 10, and my friends all loved it. They said it was fantastic. I’ve written about eight games now, and they’re all really good. Last week a man from a big software company wrote to me. He says he likes my new game, ‘Ice Jungle’, and he wants me to write games for them. So next week I’m going to London for a meeting. I’m very excited.
