Creating an Augmented Reality Environment to Teach Kids Coding Concepts

Overview

Currently, the traditional methods of learning the problem-solving skills involved in computer science can prove to be confusing and non-intuitive to young children, therefore detracting them from getting involved in CS. Augmented Reality using the Microsoft HoloLens can be used to create an engaging environment and immerse children. My project is to create an Augmented Reality HoloLens application that teaches children how to start using their problem solving skills and think like a programmer, while immersing them in a fun environment so children become more interested in the CS field.
