Benefits of Physical Computing
Benefits of Physical Computing
- Increased Motivation
- For all learners, including those from diverse backgrounds, because the learning experience and the outcome are visible.
- Ability To Be Creative
- Encourages students to think creatively and independently, rather than being limited by what can be displayed on the screen.
- Opportunity For Collaborative Work
- Research shows collaborative learning environments create a more balanced gender take-up of computing, with emerging evidence that girls enjoy physical computing.

Updated lessons in Code.Org focusing on game design.
