Code Jumper

An accessible physical programming toolkit originally developed by Microsoft Research (under the name Project Torino) that uses tangible pods connected by cables to teach programming concepts to children with visual impairments. Each pod represents a programming construct such as a sequence, loop, or conditional, and students assemble programs by physically connecting pods together. The tactile nature of Code Jumper makes it particularly engaging for blind students, as they can feel the structure of their programs and receive auditory feedback about program execution. It is designed to teach real computer science concepts through hands-on, accessible interaction.
