Google Is Building Physical Code For Kids

Project Bloks makes code physical and easy to understand for kids. While some think that code will soon be a thing of the past, we'll still need software engineers for a long time to come. And in a coming era where the computer is even more relevant than it is today, it's important that the next generation understand how it all works. To start education about programming early, Google has designed a system for teaching kids to play with code, called Project Bloks. String a few blocks in a row, hit the big "Go" button, and the code is transmitted over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to control toy robots, or make music.
