Abstract

This poster presents a haptic programming language designed for novice programmers at the sensorimotor stage, utilising a Neo-Piagetian framework. By linking physical design elements to abstract programming concepts, the author expects this haptic programming language to be more accessible for novice programmers than abstract programming tasks, but suggests further research in primary education settings to evaluate its effectiveness.
