“Mabot Star” is a brand new picture programming language that allows children to learn programming like a game. Children without any programming experience can easily get started with robot programming. “Mabot Star” makes robot programming as fun as finger painting. Children can use mabot Star to create thousands of movements. From this process, children can learn the ability to solve problems, creative design and logical thinking. At the same time, Mabot Star hopes that children will not only learn the program, but also open the door to artificial intelligence through programming.
