Master thesis: Development of a tangible programming environment for Thymio
The use of tangible programming environments is a promising approach for introducing novices to the basic concepts of programming. The goal of this master project is to develop and test a tangible programming environment for the educational robot Thymio (www.thymio.org).
The use of tangible programming environments is a promising approach for introducing novices to the basic concepts of programming. The use of such environments seems to be particularly beneficial for young users, resulting in a better understanding and an enhanced experience while programming.

The goal of this project is to develop and test a tangible programming environment for the educational robot Thymio II (www.thymio.org). The environment may be realized using computer vision methods and implemented on Android and/or iOS devices. The work will be based on the existing programming languages Thymio VPL and Aseba. Interested students should be familiar with the aforementioned technical terms and preferably be interested in educational topics. Proficiency in English is mandatory, French/Italian/German would be a plus. The workplace will be at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.
