Introducing Project Bloks

[@ThistleBlue]

Wish I had this as a kid. I would've discovered my interest in Computer Science and Programming way before leaving school.

[@MuddinNYC]

You probably did have these as options. Google isn't the first to offer this technology. Stuff like this has been available for over ten years. Google seems to be bringing it to the mainstream which is a great thing.

[@BeepDerpify]

and holy moly do they look nice

[@drinkingpoolwater]

the kids who grow up with this kind of teaching/training are going to be so computer literate its gonna change everything

[@volundrfrey896]

How old are you? I'm 25 and it wasn't difficult to find for me. I started when I was 8, and that's with a computer illitterate family and school. I really can't see this giving much pleasure to even the more technically inclined students. No more than a computer, lego or meccano would.

[@ThistleBlue]

Völundr Frey 20. Even if my school just had some type of IT/Computer Science class. The only IT we had was for 1 year after joining secondary school(basically High School), where we were taught how to type without looking at the keyboard. That would've been more than enough to get me into it. Giving me just under 10 years to get into it, not 6 months.

[@Rand0moviez]

little bits? anyone?

[@FocusMrbjarke]

What's that?

[@MuddinNYC]

[@MuddinNYC]

+FocusMrbjarke See the link. Same idea but a different company that probably inspired Google

[@ajgrant9975]

+Mo Uddin "inspired"

[@goosedaddy5565]

+AJ Grant little bits is just electrical engineering without soldering and bloks is programming. They are completely different entities

[@Sripro]

this is project ara concerted into a simple way of programming language. Good work, love Google.

Why couldn't they have made this when I was little!? I want to play with those!

[@rabirmd]

இது மிகவும் பயனுடைய சாதனம்.

[@BenjaminHari]

Considering how we are approaching the era where coding will be very sought after this is a great way to introduce coding to kids and anybody else because coding now looks scary and tough to learn. Great job Google! :)

"Kids learn by being social, by being collaborative, by playing with things, by exploring with their hands, taking what's natural to them, and then adding a new skill like computing or programming". Why only kids? Why can't adults learn this way too!?

[@codevalley9511]

really.... nice....programming.... approach... for kids...

[@volundrfrey896]

What is this urge to get everyone into computer science and programming? It's a very particular skill, there's a reason why computer science students have an average IQ of over 120. It's essentially applied maths (which I guess you could call anything). It's also a very stressful job, it really is not for everyone. Unless you're really serious about your love for computers, I'm talking people should be trying and failing to drag you away from them, then you have no place in computer science. Edit: I know that I will get hated on by a load of teenagers who made their own autohotkey script or whatever and now are software architects. If you think programming is fun then you haven't done it professionally for very long, my colleagues can back me up on this.

[@shaunregenbaum]

It is an alternative creative outlet for some people like me.

[@akshatshah3717]

Coding is the future.

[@volundrfrey896]

Akshat Shah Not for everyone. At least not in its modern form because everyone can't do it.

[@akshatshah3717]

Völundr Frey That's why there's that.

[@balzale]

Think this project as letting little kids see and discover that creating anything can be so simple and fun! This is not only intended for coders, but for everyone who loves to create and feel that there is no limit

[@computingatschoolTV]

Added to our favourites playlist :)

[@ludvigesbjornsson6814]

I hope that they make it open source. I m not a exp programers but Im leranimation new things every day. And one thing I know is that open source can make the community much better.(Maybe for more exp programers with children that want to teach their children that they are working with and exp with)

[@ludvigesbjornsson6814]

I menat to say that Im not a exp programer not a programers*****

[@galzigler]

It really reminds Google Turing Machine Doodle game. Oh, and that weird game: c-jump.

[@showanhubix]

LittleBits Rippoff :3

[@TheScott10012]

as long as its cheaper, i dont care

[@AppleberrySmith]

Yep.

[@Mr.FastZombie]

I'm pretty sure stuff like this has been done even before LittleBits.

[@BoogsterSU2]

*whisper* LittleBits!!!

[@webbugt]

This seems a lot more flexible than LittleBits, basically creating a platform instead of a fully fledged product.

Hats off. Nice work Google

[@hasifaiman]

I bet that that this so called "bloks" would be the same as their Project Ara counterparts. Very expensive and less inovating in real life.

[@wisherwatch]

Beautiful, beautful work!

[@burhanuddinpithawala1279]

great idea, just can't stop imagining the possibilities !!!

[@griffinrupe]

Wait so does this count as a very high level programming language?

[@hanguyen5101997]

The project was canceled last month I think.

[@griffinrupe]

ha nguyen That's too bad

[@Certio0]

Really, do you have a source for that? I can't find anything about it being cancelled.

[@hanguyen5101997]

what a great time to be a kid

[@gyatigupta576]

Truly commendable...great initiative towards kids and their brain development!

[@redsonic7045]

The Google company has created probably the best technology we can ever create. Id say Google is the best search engine.

I would give anything to be able to be a kid in this generation.

[@Ateeq72]

Nicely done google :D.. I was expecting RPi here :P

[@Anonymous-yw9gf]

make something for adults thats fun for them dude, + u have smart brains as they are already developed adults

[@invinsaluigisgoogleplus7321]

1:18 Yeah! Am I the only child programmer who likes it when somebody else actually knows what syntax error means?

[@Bongorfians]

I can see it already "Using project blocks to win Fortnite!"

[@Luis075jr]

Alright... Is it just me, or someone at Google got the idea from 'LittleBits', cause they've had this concept out on the market for a while now

[@kaiartikkas]

there is going to be that one guy who made a calculator with this

[@Stike96official]

Love stuff like this, great job Google!!!

[@maximdeamarrowem3xdiy518]

Google ist the best Projekt in the world !!! !!! !!!

[@jhlords2]

Was that a mac at 3:05

[@DeletedContent]

do you guys know about the project tango development tablet

[@leanderedmiston435]

Does anyone know what this song is or where I could find one like it?

[@TheSUPERPOTATO2000]

Why is everyone comparing this to LittleBits? I honestly don't see any resemblance.

[@znoxr]

now dont tell me this is littlebits

[@macoud12]

What happened to Project Bloks?

[@xanri7673]

They say it like keyboard programming is actually hard

[@sandglass247]

Awesome! Great toys for children.

[@De7aaD]

That is Ingenious! It will certainly help in development about almost everything in the future. And yeah! so many of us wishes that we had this when we were Kids!

[@kevineun]

Littlebits and cubelets anyone? Hello? Should I mention Lego Mindstorm too?

[@MAFIMA]

100% good attitude

[@GY-bd9bo]

do you think that google demonetizes their own videos?

isn't it just a google version of arduino?

google is like "man, programming is hard noone gets it we dont get enough educated employees... let's just make it easier to understand and teach that will help"

[@julietainfante8835]

Buenas noches gracias Por compartir su gran labor por medio de google Gran asociación es hemosa su labor gracias

[@Mystic_Christopher]

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news Google. But after all of your hard work, you spelled "Blocks" wrong.

[@yossarian7420]

[@607]

That's cool!

[@nagi.desuuu]

Where can I get it?

[@jezd2223]

basically,scratch irl?

[@sethadder8045]

I suspect that we're gonna have way too many programmers and coders and way too little farmers. I genuinely think we'll have s food crisis because we focus too much on the digital world and not enough on the physical

[@PablowingUrMind]

Where you in Interstellar? haha

[@JohnDoe-wg1uj]

most food production is automated already.

[@abrar1khan1]

That was also what the early humans said when spoken language was catching on. Damn too many ppl learning how to talk who will be farming now. Think of programming as the language of the future. We all learn a language don't we? This is the same.

Can they make with this, animating a lot easier!?

WHy?

[@tttv687]

[@ishankhan1589]

Where is project ara. Since September 2014, initially Motorola after that Google. Can't you make your product that you have introduced on 2015 in a conference.

[@terrycoley738]

Can I ask a question here to google . What are you afraid of because when people post and if you don’t agree with them you try to shut them down I could see if they were talking about you but people are talking about how they feel about a certain topic why not hear what they have to say instead of doing away with there accounts .Thanks Terry

[@arialthecramwell]

Either they will able to buy Phonebloks from the developers, or just straight up steal the idea. Like, come on guys, Bloks?, you gotta try harder next time!

[@UsKidsProductions]

These seem pretty cool! I'm sure they'll be a hit.
