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]

+FocusMrbjarke littlebits.cc/?gclid=Cj0KEQjwncO7BRC06snzrdSJyKEBEiQAsUaRjH3Sa7kjDNxyqJolBubLbGO3bsUHIA8rfaop9gWYKnMaAg-d8P8HAQ

[@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

[@ritamchatterjee2652]

nice work Google .... :-)

[@ritamchatterjee2652]

+Mr Nubb yeah ... :-D

[@ritamchatterjee2652]

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.

[@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]

Certio0 here is one of the link www.wired.com/2016/09/death-project-ara-shows-google-grown-up/

[@hanguyen5101997]

[@djmetcalf3815]

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

[@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

Finally not an anooying ad that pops up everywhere.

[@IvanaAmeliaBartoluc]

Genial! Si Montesori y Palacios, la gran maestra italiana y el gran maestro rural argentino, vivieran en este tiempo lo implementan ya! Muchas gracias!

[@daleheinrichs6030]

Always something new to see in actions and usefulness in better human living conditions.

[@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! :)

[@computingatschoolTV]

Added to our favourites playlist :)

[@galzigler]

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

[@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]

laugh out loud

[@GuillermoValleCosmos]

"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!?

[@naveenxavier7984]

[@TheSUPERPOTATO2000]

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

[@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

[@macoud12]

What happened to Project Bloks?

[@KahalealiiTedIshikawa]

Real life red stone experiments! #Minecraft

[@codevalley9511]

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

[@quidprobro]

The person who filmed this needs to learn the rule of thirds. Everyone looks short.

[@GY-bd9bo]

do you think that google demonetizes their own videos?

[@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*****

[@wisherwatch]

Beautiful, beautful work!

[@burhanuddinpithawala1279]

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

[@redsonic7045]

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

[@uditjuneja675]

it's awesome but is there anything for India?

[@rabirmd]

இது மிகவும் பயனுடைய சாதனம்.

[@leanderedmiston435]

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

[@Stike96official]

Love stuff like this, great job Google!!!

[@maximdeamarrowem3xdiy518]

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

[@MrZoff]

At 2:58 is that an iphone or just a picture?

[@kaiartikkas]

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

[@nightbearsnebula]

Does this mean this can improve animatronics programing? If so then ill consider buying.

[@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

Hats off. Nice work Google

[@jhlords2]

Was that a mac at 3:05

[@kevineun]

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

[@badassboss8672]

Kinda wished I had stuff like that when I was a Kid 🤔😕

[@gyatigupta576]

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

[@Bongorfians]

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

[@arinkulshi]

I thought this had something to do with the custom phone(blocks)?

[@marcoteixeira4285]

[@znoxr]

now dont tell me this is littlebits

[@invinsaluigisgoogleplus7321]

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

[@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!

[@xanri7673]

They say it like keyboard programming is actually hard

[@samuelxander]

what a great time to be a kid

[@Killernaut16]

Did Google purchase Phonebloks or have they just stopped caring?

[@thecreepercow3708]

Google also uses SublimeText NICE

[@DeletedContent]

do you guys know about the project tango development tablet

[@donnacaracofe8191]

What is the cost?

[@wil7vin]

I have dyslexia and even i have to try my best to achieve a thousand syntax errors. Just get a good code editor that you like and you will be on your way. Still nice concept of a product thou

[@DutchMovies]

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

[@julietainfante8835]

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

[@dolkslab]

I think you missed a "c" in Bloks. It should be spelled Blocks.

[@zawesfcaswe1641]

no they didnt miss it, its spelled that way on purpose

[@androlinux]

[@aavnpn]

how about you guys just get on a new nexus 7?

[@muchdoge8351]

Or Gboard for Android

[@JohnDoe-wg1uj]

whats wrong with your current phone?

[@aavnpn]

Idc Stfu um nothing. The Nexus 7 is a tablet that Google hasn't updated in years.

[@JohnDoe-wg1uj]

Asiia Phan Oh I thought it was a phone

[@zazztheboy]

+Asiia Phan because the android tablet market is dead, sorry to break you the news. the pixel C will get updated and android will be made better for multi window and chromebooks will be better designed for android apps, because that's where the market is headed; 2-in-1s

[@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.

[@belot217]

Prepping people to buy Project Ara?

I want this NOW pls😄

[@jesusarellano6739]
