Description
Given that programming is logical thinking in a few very specific areas (sequence, selection, iteration) I created the ProgBoard as a physical tool to explore these concepts without using a computer. This resulted in a fun activity which is less scary than starting with programming and has been used successfully in adult education and international settings. Here I present the very simple tool and how I have used this in real-world settings, moving from it into simple programming on a computer afterwards.
