Tech-giant Google has yet again come up with a commendable invention called Project Bloks that strives to make programming and coding tangible for kids. Project Bloks is a hardware platform that teaches kids how to code. Google’s blocks (or bloks) are not a toy product available in the retail industry yet.

Professor Paulo Blikstein of Stanford University who is involved in the project lays emphasis on kits that will teach programming such as making music or controlling the physical world. The kit contains three components – Brain Board, Base Board and Puck. The pucks are the vital part which can be programmed with different instructions such as ‘turn on or off’, ‘move left’ or ‘jump’. The Base Board reads the instructions from the Pucks and passes them on to the main Brain Board.
