MicroBlocks
MicroBlocks is an open source, Scratch-like programming language for learning psychical computing with educational microcontroller boards. Psychical computing involves interacting with the physical world beyond a screen. You take data from light, motion or temperature sensors and control devices such as motors, speakers and lights. Physical computing is fun, engaging and makes learning to program easier and more understandable.
