<p>
We are developing new approaches to computer programming, hoping to make
programming as intuitive as snapping LEGO bricks together. We have
developed several new visual programming languages in which children can
build programs on the screen by stacking virtual bricks and connecting
wires. We are also developing "tangible" programming languages in which
children build programs with physical building blocks (with electronics
embedded inside).
