While recent work has begun to evaluate the efficacy of educational programming games,
many common design decisions in these games (eg, single player gameplay using …

Cubic shapes play an astonishing role in the design of tangible interactive devices. Due to
our curiosity for this widespread design preference lasting over thirty years, we constituted a …

We articulate a vision for computer programming that includes pen-based computing, a
paradigm we term notational programming. Notational programming blurs contexts: certain …

This paper designs a tangible programming tool, E‐Block, for children aged 5 to 9 to
experience the preliminary understanding of programming by building blocks. With …

Many computational toolkits to promote early learning of basic computational concepts and
practices are inaccessible to learners with reduced visual abilities. We report on the design …

We developed P-CUBE, which is an education tool for programming mobile robots, and
confirmed the system operation. Elementary school and junior high school students have …

These days we are witnessing a spread of many new digital systems in public spaces
featuring easy to use and engaging interaction modalities, such as multi-touch, gestures …

This paper introduces a tangible programming environment that uses paper cards as
command objects. We have implemented a prototype system called “Sheets”. The users can …

Abstract Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) literature already suggests that Tangible User
Interfaces (TUIs) can support children learning. This paper presents a human-centered …

As the demand for computer science (CS) skills grows, mastering foundational concepts is
crucial yet challenging for novice learners. To address this challenge, we present KoroT-3E …
