Project Bloks
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
Project Bloks is a research project of Google to produce an open platform of physical blocks with embedded electronics which can be arranged to produce programs. This is something like a physical manifestation of the virtual programming environment of Scratch or Hopscotch, which are graphical environments intended to teach children to program. Project Bloks would do this in the physical world, where the symbols being strung together into a program are real objects to be moved around. This is to be implemented with a Raspberry Pi and WiFi and Bluetooth interfaces.
