Cubetto

Cubetto is the friendly wooden robot that teaches children the basics of computer programming through adventure and hands-on play. The tangible programming interface is designed to introduce children aged 3 to 6 to computational thinking and programming logic by allowing them to program a small wooden robot using colorful blocks. Children play with the "queue" of instructions, one of the fundamental concepts behind programming, without using screens.
