Coding education system for toddlers using color blocks {CODING EDUCATION SYSTEM FOR CHILDREN USING COLOR BLOCK}

The present invention relates to an infant coding education system using color blocks, and more particularly, to teach infants basic concepts of programming or coding by associating a block containing a color corresponding to a predetermined symbol with a display means of a terminal device. The present invention relates to an infant coding education system using one color block.

      In general, young children undergo processes such as physical exercise development, emotional development, language development, and cognitive development according to the growth of each period, and various play and educational materials are provided for smooth and efficient development in each of these fields. have.

      In addition, as the interest in the information technology field has recently increased greatly, the interest in the coding curriculum for programming has increased.

      As mentioned above, the coding curriculum for programming has emerged as a necessity for basic education or early education for coding in order to develop logical thinking since infancy. In particular, the pre-school age is organized around 7 years old, so it is impossible to apply it to coding education for children 3 to 5 years old. Also, some of the parishes for 3 to 5 years old Although it is being developed and distributed, it is difficult to attract children's interests along with the evaluation that its contents are difficult, resulting in a decrease in popularity.
