In general, education on programming languages such as C language is required to develop application programs used in devices such as robots. Using the programming language, the algorithm that can logically create the basis and rules for coding the application program is required. education is also needed.

Algorithm education is a process of learning a kind of logical language and knowing which ones to pick up and connect. Therefore, the basic concepts of such a logical language (for example, how loops work, how to make judgments, how to perform calculations, how to obtain information from a computer to us, how to make a computer do work, etc.) It is important to let them know, and to give them a creative experience and a sense of accomplishment for what they have created.

In particular, for children, by using tangible blocks of various colors that can be touched rather than text-based program coding using computers or smart devices, the effect of visual stimulation is increased, and at the same time, the fundamental principles of coding are taught through tactile activities. Coding education in the unplugged programming method without a computer that can be explored and learned naturally is effective.

However, in conventional block coding, since coding is performed through the connection between blocks, the more block connections, the more complicated and difficult to understand the coding process. There is a problem.

In other words, as coding was organized in the regular curriculum, drag-and-drop-type graphics-based coding software was released rather than C language-based. However, there are still difficult and complicated problems for non-major teachers and students who conduct actual classes. In particular, there are too many menus to choose from, there are many letters, and it can be very useful when approaching after learning the basic concepts, but it can be difficult for beginners.
