Now Google wants to get kids to code – colored blocks is the method – IDG.se

Project Bloks called Google’s new focus on teaching kids to code. The idea is that the various plastic squares with symbols such as arrows to teach them the basics in a direct and firm manner.

By placing them in different ways, they can be used to program a robot and it is just that Google wants to achieve – the children understand the logic behind coding while they play their way, reports the Verge.

But Google has no plans to venture into the toy industry. Instead, it is about building up Bloks as a hardware platform that toy Stiller maker can use to create new products.

in addition to using plastic bits to control a robot can also be used to program a speaker to play music, or be able to connect them to the sensors, which in turn activates other items, suggest Google.
