TIDAL Lab, Northwestern University
Academic research on children, learning, and technology.
We're looking for someone to help redesign a "tangible programming language" for young children. The idea is that kids can program a robot by connecting wooden tiles with different actions on them. We use a cell phone camera to scan in kids programs and then to send those programs to a robot.
The attached images show our current designs. We're looking for something with the same playful feel, but with better colors, icons, and fonts.
Each tile has to have space for a 3/4" circular barcode. The tiles don't have to be square, but they should "fit together" in a chain.
Age: 4-6 year old children
For use at home, in school, at science museums, etc.
