Great news today. We’re happy to announce that roBlocks (Cubelets development name) received a $100,000 “Phase I” Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Science Foundation. The award is to investigate programming languages appropriate for children to modify the behavior of individual blocks. We’ll be building a few different frameworks for end-user programming and testing with a bunch of smart kids. Fun!
