Plugo Coding
Logical Thinking through Tactile Play Role - Lead Game DesignerOverview
Plugo Coding teaches the fundamentals of programming—sequences, loops, and conditions—without any screens-only abstraction. Kids simply snap physical blocks to issue commands.
Key Features
- Physical Coding: Commands are physical blocks (Move, Jump, Loop).
- Progressive Learning: Levels scale from basic sequencing to complex functions.
- Creative Problem Solving: Open-ended challenges that allow multiple solutions.
Design Contributions
Focused on the "Tangible Syntax" problem—how to make physical blocks represent abstract code concepts intuitively for a 5-year-old. Designed the progression curve to introduce loops and conditionals as "shortcuts" rather than complex rules.
