Hi everyone,
I am excited to share DrBartha Toys, a software-enabled coding brick system that introduces kids to programming through hands-on play.
Instead of writing code on a screen, kids stack magnetic coding bricks like LEGO to form a program, which then runs on our CodePad to control games and interactive tasks.

How It WorksPhysical coding blocks represent programming concepts like loops, conditionals, variables, and functions.
Kids build logic structures by stacking the bricks into towers.
The CodePad scans and executes their program, running interactive challenges and games.
Would Engineers Want a Pro Version?While working on this for kids, I started wondering if a
"Pro" version could be useful for engineers and programmers:
- Solve mathematical problems, visualize algorithms, or interact with logic gates.
- Graph algorithms, Neural Networks.
- Controlling robots.
- Tangible programming could help in education or debugging logic visually.
I would love to hear your thoughts! Would you find a physical programming kit useful for engineering, problem-solving, or teaching?
Looking forward to your feedback! ❤️
