Physical Computing for Beginners

Client: Tracy Gardner, Raspberry Pi Foundation, tracy@raspberrypi.org

Children and other beginners can understand the computational concepts involved in physical computing (controlling electronics components) before they are ready for the technical APIs provided to control hardware devices. Your task is to design and prototype a visual or ‘low code/nocode’ language or interface for programming the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller that can be used by beginners. The language should be ‘domain specific’ and have concepts that are close to the kinds of projects that beginners would want to create.
