The Electronic Block programming interface design is based on principles of developmentally appropriate practices in early childhood education. As a result the blocks provide young children with a programming environment that allows them to explore quite complex programming principles. The simple syntax of the blocks provides opportunities for young children unavailable through the use of traditional programming languages. The blocks allow children to create and use simple code structures. The Electronic Block environment provides a developmentally appropriate environment for planning overall strategies for solving a problem, breaking a strategy down into manageable units, and systematically determining the weakness of the solution.
Electronic Blocks are the physical embodiment of computer programming.
They have the unique dynamic and programmable properties of a computer minus its complexity. Inc. All rights reserved.
