Robo-Blocks: A tangible programming system with debugging for children

This paper presents a tangible programming system called Robo-Blocks. The system consists of electronic command blocks that can be connected together to form a program that controls the movement of a floor robot. The basis of the design is to make programming accessible to young children. Robo-Block...
