“Embodied Code, Interactive Liveness” is an art installation that aims to explore live coding as a paradigmatic example of the liminal space between the virtual and the real. With a multi-layered approach based on three interaction modes, this work focuses on embodiment, code, interaction and liveness. It is built on an educational approach aiming at dissolving the boundaries between program...

This lightning talk is to share my experience of how I teach Python with a hybrid method in TurtleStitch. A Snap! library called Python blocks will be introduced to the audience as a tool for implementing this method.
Python Blocks is a Python syntax block library that provides commonly used Python commands and basic functions. Users can input text variable names, text expressions, b...

Almost a decade ago I developed a course curriculum called "Code Crafting" in which I introduced the foundations of programming via Fiber Arts (crochet, machine embroidery, quilting). As an undergraduate experience it provided a flavor of what it meant to program, but didn't give guidance about how to become a master. Adaptations to the course for middle school afterschool programs, and for...

CodePainter@Snap! will help kids doing their first steps in coding, get a first impression what code blocks are standing for and learn what happens inside a coding sequence. A Computer is no magic at all.
You will see simplified coding in an easy to read pseudo code language. By starting at the top and following the coding blocks step by step just as the processor is doing it, you wi...

The new MicroBlocks library for analog sound synthesis allows us to generate all sorts of synthesized sounds. The library was envisioned for live coding music, but nothing stops us from using it to create our own digital instruments.
Additionally, the MicroBlocks library for Snap! makes interoperability between the two languages very transparent and easy, allowing us to design a grap...

Block-code instructional activities allowing to have an introductory guide for this coding language throw three digital fabrication and experimental techinques on the area of textile design: 3D print over textiles (3D grids), Laser cutting for wooden garments (2D grids) and Laser cutting for seamless unions (2D interlocks)

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 ...

We demonstrate an early version of BloxBuddy, an AI assistant designed for NetsBlox, a variant of Snap!. Most language models have difficulty working with Snap!’s block-based code, but by building off of Snap!’s new ‘Lisp code’ feature, we’ve been able to make block-based code easier for them to understand. Combined with access to the NetsBlox documentation, BloxBu...
