Since 2007 I work at Citilab - Cornellà, near of Barcelona, where I had the chance to participate in the beginnings of the application of block visual programming, like Scratch and Snap!, in the educational world. I have participated in the creation of S4A (Scratch for Arduino) within the Edutec project, and collaborate in to the development of Snap4Arduino and MicroBlocks.

Now I coordinate the education area at Citilab and the Edulab project, which promotes the teaching of programming and robotics as a transversal language to understand and relate to technology and to develop critical thinking and creativity in schools. For this project also we designed a microcontroller board Citilab ED1 and a robotics Kit for education

No materials for the event yet, sorry!

Connecting an offline voice recognition device via MicroBlocks to create programs with Snap!

This experiment started during a demo for an online voice recognition device for MicroBlocks. Since this device can be trained to recognize new words, the idea was: why not train some block name commands to use them in Snap!

Because the connection between MicroBlocks and Snap! is trivial, I started some naive experiments that I will show in this talk.
