英文摘要： Given that computers have been widely used in children's education and the current lack of children's programming software, this project is to explore tangible user interaction and tangible programming languages for children, on the basis of child cognition research and computational thinking. We strive to provide children with an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use programming environment, to help them understand basic programming concepts and develop their computational thinking abilities. The project focuses on the following aspects: research on children's cognitive and computational thinking skills as the basis for developing children's software applications; combining the characteristics of children's cognition to explore tangible user interaction for children; research on children's tangible programming languages, the design of tangible programming blocks, and technology for the identification and comprehension of the tangible programming languages; developing a suitable prototype of children's tangible programming environment; studying children's experience assessment methods to evaluate the programming prototype, and finally improving its accessibility. This children-oriented physical programming environment prototype will not only fill the void in the field of children's programming software in China, but wil
